 It sits on a "wireless" charger every night?  I would say yes, that is killing
it. Heat.
 I have an 8 Plus (6.5 years old) that is at 99%.  Granted it does not get much
use these days.  My work-issued 12 Pro Max (3.5 years old and sees lots of
use) is at 91%.
 I don't charge them daily. I charge them when they get down to around 50%.  I
use iPad chargers since it charges faster.
 Personally I would never use "wireless" charging.

Any kind of battery charging produces heat, although wirelessly may well be worse do to be highly inefficient (which is going to be a problem when Apple rumouredly stops using any port on their devices leaving *only* wireless connections).
