> reusing private keys is an enormous vulnerability.

As long as the private key is stored/handled safely and RSA/ECC is not broken, it is not vulnerable.

I do agree that key rotation is better/recommended practice.

The leak is the actual vulnerability. As long as the leak is still there and you are not aware of the compromised private key, a fresh new private key will probably leak again.

However, the chances of leaking may be greater if a private key has to be used in multiple locations.
