I've got my BlueIris PC in the loft as well as the POE switch, been up there for some 3 years now. No problems to date, not saying that there won't be.
The only issue I had was with the POE switch, in summer the fans were way too loud so I could hear the feint hum in the quiet of the night so I had to mod them by adding a resistor in line to slightly reduce their speed and take away that high pitched buzz when they are running at full speed.
There have been occasions where I have had to pop into the loft to either manually restart the PC, last last week in fact as it appeared to lock itself out from network access. Other times I've played around with it and locked myself out from remote access but generally, for me, I've not had any real cause for concern.

Heat is the enemy to all electronics.
Here in my area, no way would I put electronics in the attic, it gets up to 130f-140f around here up there.
