Do successive covid reinfections increase or decrease in severity?

Will they eventually wear-down a person's immune system or prime it to better handle it?

 I mean an individual who gets it several times, which I guess would include variants.  
Particularly health workers who are continually at risk of exposure.  
With it being endemic, it's likely we all will potentially get more than one case of it even with vaccination, so with long-covid being a concern, will we all just eventually get weaker and more debilitated till it takes us out, or will we find it less and less of an issue?

This is honestly a really difficult question to answer now given we have so little data on reinfection and long covid effects. 

There are signs pointing to the virus staying dormant / hidden after recovery (ie hepatitis or herpes), and potentially having longer term complications we might not yet be aware of but it’s still too early to tell.
