Definitely if the valve was leaking I'd replace just it and go through the bypassing it work. This is the quickest way to solve the problem and
get the car going again.
Having seen all the hoses going to it, one could make the argument that, at a very high mileage, the hoses need replacing. But we haven't read here of those hoses failing.
So, in hind sight, if it doesn't get one stuck and one can smell the coolant or add water while waiting for the part...then wait until it goes bad. But, again, the stories here have been of people getting stuck,
losing coolant, etc.
Replacing it at any mileage could bring some piece of mind.
