Replacing springs

What is the general opinion of replacing springs in shooter Lugers? The two I shoot are a 1920 Commercial in .30 and a 1936 S/42. Even though the Germans were really good at metallurgy and heat treating it seems to me that replacing 80-100 year old springs with new ones is cheap insurance. The Wolff kit comes with mainspring, firing pin spring, trigger spring and extractor spring. The guns function fine but I don't want to batter them with springs that may have taken a set.

Should any of the other springs be addressed?
