Yellow is critical in any image, regardless. All reflective images use
yellow dye, toner, pigment, whatever, as do most slides and negs. One
exception was the Polaroid instant slide film which used RGB
interference lines to create the color image. There may have been other
exceptions.
Photographs use CMY layers in most cases.
I can only go on my personal experience. I have had fading issues with
dye inks with some papers, and not with others. I've had fading with
color silver halide. Certain Agfa slide films were horrible with
fading, even in the dark (processed by Agfa Germany).
Pigment inks tend, overall to have slower fading, and the newer ones
seem to outlive most photographic (color silver halide) dye images.
However, they all seem to have different sensitivities, and issues like
humidity, light levels, and reducing gases can damage them.
Your experience with RA-4 paper seems to indicate they are very stable
in high levels of sunlight, so perhaps they are more stable than pigment
inkjet. Certain dyes are quite stable, but most can't hold a candle to
quality pigments.
