At a certain point are you not going to be able to maintain the intensity long enough for it to start paying dividends?
Or is it just a question of longer recovery times?

I couldn't maintain my aggressive jelquing schedule into my mid-20's let alone 30's.
I could do 20 times 400 at 35. It's 50 that it's a pain in
the butt
Drink 10+ beers Saturday night before a Sunday morning long run.
I wasn't aware of any difference.
Not much difference. Somewhere between 37 and 40 is where things started to sh*t the bed.
But you should still be able to do the same training at 37-40. If not, then you lose fitness or have lost it already.
First, it happened at 45 for me. Up until then, I could train just as I did when I was 20 years younger.
It's the weekly long run for me. I now do long runs every other week, if I'm lucky. I just don't recover like I used to. I'm sore for days. I can still manage the speedwork without much problem. Sure I'm slowing down, but I still feel fairly good the next day after a good track work out.
Most of my running friends would tell you they are the exact opposite.
