I read this ............ (Plastic will allow the beer to oxidize over time so don't consider that as a lagering vessel)

If you use the PET plastic used in water bottles then you are probably OK. PolyPropolene (opaque white stuff) probably is not the best for long term aging.

Personally I think 4 weeks is fine. More than that I'd be thinking glass.

I use plastic sometimes and it's fine over a month. Haven't tried any longer.

Beer in PET bottles can be stored for a year without degradation. Assuming normal procedures like proper conditioning, carbonation, temp storage, away from bright light.

The bottle caps should be replaced eventually. After multiple uses they will wear out. The caps are cheap and readily available.
