Yes, every couple days is too much. Maybe once ever 3 months would be more realistic.
As long as the seals are in place, grit would not be getting in.
Too much grease causes a bearing to run hot, but not a real big deal unless it's a really high speed application, which yours is not.

As for wheel bearings, they hold a lot of grease, turn very slowly, and are generally not loaded anywhere near the bearing capacity. They have a fairly easy life as long as the seal stays intact and don't get contaminated with water or grit.
