Pretty much every car manufacturer today recommends replacement, not just Porsche.
If they are one time stretch fasteners, then yes it makes sense, well, except for being stretch fasteners to begin with. Otherwise, it's definitely a belts & suspenders approach b/c the stresses on them are more compressive than tensile... well, except on my F150 which specified 150 lb ft. of torque along w/ loctite blue - LOL.
