That depends on the type of dielectric. Any idea what type of caps these
were originally?
Am I correct that the TG is all very low voltage? If so, they might last
"forever."

That being said, isn't it inevitable that re-capping will need to be done at
some point? Capacitors are one of the few components, other than vacuum
tubes that age and need to be replaced. Tubes age with use, but caps age
with ... time, just sitting there. I would think the question becomes WHEN
to do it.
