Yes, the Reisses may have records of their coordinate holders but they all seemed to get eaten up less than 13 years after. With other shifters, I know this has been said before that some of them seemed to have their powers longer than 13 years. Characters talking of limited time could be applied to anything, limited time before they're killed, limited time to capture Eren, etc. There's not really any books on Titan shifting history except the one Kruger said was false. Obviously there's not enough info to make a highly accurate guess out of anything.

I don't know what to think. Isayama seems to flip back and forth between his good ending/bad ending ideas. I honestly can't even tell what route he'll take from chapter to chapter. Well, I just checked the timeline. Grisha inherits the Titan power and is found by Keith Shadis in 832, and he has Eren eat him in 845, which is exactly 13 years apart. He knew he was very short on time.

Not saying I'm fond of this whole idea, but it seems Isayama is being consistent.

One thing I'm uncertain of is when Zeke got his powers. If 13 years really is the limit, he must have gotten his at least 5 years after Grisha.
