Dec 18, 2021 at 14:35 comment added Jonathan S. No, it won't. The circuit acts as a memory because the NOT gates are amplifiers and can replace any charge that's lost from the wires. Without an amplifying element, the charge (and therefore the stored value) will decay. This is also why DRAM needs to be refreshed periodically - it doesn't have a built-in amplifying element, causing the stored value to decay over time.
