It's your car but people smarter and with more experience than me have given you the best advice and recommendations. Lots of anecdotal stories about other failures after just changing the timing belt. $200 in parts now while you have everything off is a better option IMO than having to spend that plus getting heads repaired after the valves bend. But hey it's a free country do what you want.2 points

when I did the service on my WRX, I was at about 8.5 years but under 70K miles. the toothed idler and another idler spun like like skate wheels, the toothed idler also wobbled slightly. There was oil on top of my tensioner. Belt looked surprisingly good. No signs of seeping oil from crank or cam seals. I left the waterpump but changed the belt ,tensioner and all idlers.1 point

Replace the cogged idler too. That one in particular is the known culprit of 70-80% of the t-belt failures. Koyo only. Personally I would at a minimum do the upper smooth roller too. it has alot of stress on it. The lower smooth has barely any stress in comparison, so re-using it is not so risky. If you add the upper smooth, and the lower cogged idler, it should only add another $100 to the whole job.1 point

Don't be cheap. Buy the Aisin kit with water pump or piece together your own with Japanese made components. Replace, at a bare minimum, the cogged idler that bolts to the water pump. When (not if) it fails, there is a high probability you'll bend valves. Is this a job you're willing to go back and do again just to save a few bucks right now?1 point
