Is there definitive information about how long dropped items stay around for a way of permanent storage?
I am somewhat running out of storage space, as I am unsure about what to do with a lot of items (keep, sell, dismantle etc.), so I was looking for a way to permanently store them somewhere. Now there are no chests or houses for your storage like in other games, and looking around people suggest to just find a nice spot and dump stuff there, while others say that is a bad idea. Current hypothesis about how long it stays there include:
- Forever
- Until the next patch making savegame files incompatible
- A certain (amounts varies) ingame time
- Until you travel far away enough
- Certain mainline quest events
- A certain amount of items are lying around in total throughout the whole world (kinda first dropped vanishes first if a list is full)
- One of the above but depending on the area
So is there any confirmed method of dumping stuff safely somewhere so I could in my lvl 1 time dump something and then come back there and collect it shortly before end game, and it is guaranteed to stay there (minus bugs, obviusly)?
Note that I am on a PS4 so PC mods or console commands are out of the question.

Anecdotally, I dropped some crossbow bolts by the blacksmith in Heiriarch's square in Novigrad 10 something hours in. When I went back to get his Wolf gear maps 90 something hours later they were still there. That was PC though.
So on PC they appear to stay (effectively) infinitely.

After you die in Minecraft, all the items dropped on the ground will automatically vanish after five minutes. To prevent your inventory items from disappearing after your death, don't load the chunk that you died in, use the keepInventory cheat or a command block to set the item's age to -32768.How long do dropped items last ACNH?
