Current plan is to paint the calipers, flush the brake fluid, swap the new seals and boots during this upcoming winter the latest.
You'll know better once you're in there if new calipers are needed. If no water has migrated into the cylinder and there's not rust or pitting and it cleans up well, new seals and boots will be all you need.

You may have a little rust and pitting along the outer edge (outside of where the seal rides) and you'll still be ok. Just clean it off real good so you won't damage the new seal when you insert it.
