As for team and job jumping, I certainly wouldn't make any assumptions. Every situation is unique. Would listen to each story.
My wife has not been in the same job for more than 3 years until now, except for a private practice that she maintained part-time. That's about 30 years in the work force. I've been doing essentially the same job for that same time. I'm content, but she's grown exponentially and become very successful in her profession. What does that say about job jumping?
My daughter, from age 9-12, played on the same travel team. We knew an older girl who switched every year. I thought it was teaching her a bad lesson about team bonding and loyalty. But her dad told me that every team taught her something different, and that after one year, there wasn't much more the previous team could teach. Also changed schools three times, fwiw. They did play on the same team the last 3 or so years of an 8-year travel career. Long story short, she became the #1 pitching prospect in the country. Every travel team and every college team wanted her.

They also seem to have better contacts for recruiting. I was able to get DD hooked up with a college pitcher and they practiced last night and will again this evening...I'm hoping they can continue to do it frequently. Thanks!
