Should I replace the thermostat?

Should I replace the thermostat?
My S4 T2 has 67,000 miles. I have rebuilt the engine due to low compression. Rear iron cracked near oil pedestal. Previous owner riced out car. FCD, no tuning, ebay air filter on civic aluminum pipe with hole in hard rubber coupler due to no reduction in size so it got squeezed with worm clamp beyond belief, white guage overlays, crush bent stainless exhaust. What do you expect?!
All good now.
I forgot to order the water pump gaskets last time when I ordered gaskets. I am wondering, should I order an oem thermostat at $21? I don't have many miles, yet I'm afraid that if it fails, my extremely expensive little engine goes boom. I'll probably order one anyways for piece of mind. How long has your thermostat lasted? Any other sensors deemed necessary to replace?
All good now.

Other sensor to replace is your o2 sensor and obviously replace the spark plug wires if they're old.
