Replace timing gears as a precaution?

Replace timing gears as a precaution?
In several posts here in that forum I found some more or less clear hints about the poor quality of timing gears in early olds.
I have a 1968 Toronado with more than 150'000 miles. And I have all the papers and I assume that timing gears and chain have never been replaced.
I runs - good.
Would you people recommend me to change timing gears as a precaution? To prevent a possible jump of timing causing damage to the engine?

I had a plastic gear give out when i was racing a guy on the highway . It clogged my pickup and spun a bearing. Ill never put an engine in my car now without putting a steel gear in.

Stock timing chains had plastic gears? What part was plastic, around the teeth? How can you tell if your timing gears are the original ones? I thought mine were original but there was no plastic on them that I could see...they looked to be all metal. There was no plastic in my oil pickup screen either luckily...

Here is the story about the Toronado.
