Just wondering, as the Reba's on my hardtail leaked all of their oil out over a few weeks when it was unused. Fixed it now with a seal refresh and service- but is there any risk in hanging the bike by the front wheel from my garage wall?

That's a seal fault not a problem with storage. It would have happened if the bike was upside down, too.
You just caught a problem early before trashing your fork. Result! 🙂

I feel uncomfortable hanging bikes by their forks for exactly that reason. Avoid the issue by hanging them by the rear wheel.
Half of my bikes are hung by the saddle, taking all load off the suspension and it keeps the forks upright.
