Sure ---, everything has three 'stages' -- young/immature, mature/prime, and waning/diminishing - some perennials are good for HUNDREDS of years -- think Bristlecone pine, or Giant Sequoias; other plants, not so much! If they get too large for where you put them to begin with, pruning may/may not be advisable - depends on the species; if they need to be thinned out - as with lots of bulbs just to get more space, then share the ones you remove with friends/neighbors.
Over crowding of perennials can stunt or kill them off, it all depends on what they are and the environment they are in.
