Do you increase the price of healing potions to account for the cost of 1 lab 
lost every 8 months?

That sounds like an admission that you actively discourage roleplaying in 
your games.

That depends profoundly on how much healing potions cost to produce. In the 
limiting case of healing potions not being available at any price, then 
obviously armies can get by without them (unless you use "combat deadlier than real 
life" rules that make armies themselves impractical). 

(Also, how big is "army scale" to you? Numbers of troops measured in the 
hundreds? In the thousands? Tens of thousands? More?)
