I'd hold off on the pump as you have no symptoms and your upcoming tasks are not related to the WP so there is no "while I'm there" cost or time savings.
and I just replaced my WP at 119K miles due to a small drip. After getting to the pump, I just saw a small drip from a lower bolt. Since I was in that far and had the part on hand, I went ahead and replaced the WP and thermostat. After removing and inspecting the (original) pump, I noted no bearing play or wear to the pump veins
Given small torque spec for the WP (12-14 Ft-lbs) I'm fairly certain that I could have re-torqued the bolts a and been good to go. Looking back, I should have tried it.
I even kept the old pump!
