if her sync settings are on it will restore it
to what it was previously, including messages.
but she likely needs to remove apps, so she shouldn't do a full reload and select all on the apps - go through them and uncheck what she doesn't actually use regularly.

Wife's phone battery dying quick. She hasn't done system updates for a while. Would that actually help? She's convinced

Updates definitely help.

Updates tend to be more efficient but don't always help

Is she just at home and it's dying? Or is she someplace else and maybe the phone is struggling to connect?

Progressively getting worse the last few weeks. Been home all morning.

This. And maybe a battery replacement mentioned below...

Isn't the phone old enough to wipe itself by now?

I imagine it will help. How old is the phone? These batteries only have a certain number of charge cycles in their life

3 years old. We can't access the battery ourselves on the S8 so I think would need to take it somewhere.

I suspect the battery life cycle is over. I'd take it to an authorized store for replacement. Start on Samsung's website

Battery replacement for a Galaxy S8 is ~$70.

I can't remember--does a factory reset delete all your contacts, apps, etc.?

Yes it does. I would make sure to go through the pending updates before
