I wonder, @lukedlb - is your wall an outside wall? It's possible that the the air is a bit cooler just inside the wall if so, although any guitar of mine will go out of tune in a month.
FWIW, My guitars all live on the walls & hold tune just fine.
The string tension pulling down on the headstock is in the order of 70 or 80 lbs.
Think about it.

My mate who built my guitars gets uppity when I leave them in a case, convinced that the cases are choking the guitars as the wood needs to breathe. Probably got more to do with the raised pressure on the neck inside the case as mine is pretty poorly made. However, the tuning was never as far out as when hung on the wall.
Most guitar shops hang by the headstock so I just assumed it wasn’t a problem. Whether you’d hang a vintage strat is another matter.
I'd hang a vintage Strat without the slightest thought.
A modern Les Paul maybe not...

I know that String Swing don't, my 335 hangs from it and I have no issues.

I find split post tuners and locking tuners generally behave really well

Takes me about 4/5 weeks to get back to the start point in the show room to start the tune up process again - Painting the Forth Road bridge syndrome
