On the other hand, if the cauldron lasts long enough, it becomes
"seasoned" - better than a new one.  The same would apply for shoes,
tools, and even some weapons.

This thought about item fatigue, combined with the former quote about
creature fatigue, suggests that maybe experience could be tied to
fatigue.  I don't know how exactly to do it in terms of rules, but
basically, if you "fatigue" your cauldron and then take proper care of
it (recovering the fatigue), it gains some "experience".

For creatures, it's much simpler; the experience you get should be
proportional to the fatigue, which is already covered in your idea.

best,
