I'd be terrified if my dog didn't have her rabies vaccine to say the least. I'd be worried if she for some reason bit someone they'd have to quarantine her, at least, to rule out the disease.
Not to mention worrying about parasites, under/over weight, regular heartbeat, etc. I was a month late taking Princess in for her boosters & heart worm test and prevention and I was a worried wreck! I kept playing all of these worst case scenarios through my head and that was within a month, not years. I cannot imagine never doing it. No matter the cost, time or inconvenience, I could not justify avoiding vet care. It's my responsibility as her owner, just as it is anyone's who owns a pet. What is the harm in taking him/her in?
