Two schools of thought on shaft seals (RMS); Do em while you're in there, and, If it's dry, it's doing it's job and leave it alone.
I favor the latter because it's not as simple as just pulling the old one and putting the new one in. When replacing the RMS, you need to precisely inset it 13mm from the original seal and absolutely perpendicular to the shaft plane or it's going to leak. If your mechanic doesn't have the Porsche seal press, there's likely to be a wide variance from these specs and it's sure to leak in just a few miles causing you to either live with it, or re-do the whole thing.
But, do as you see fit.
The master is mounted on the frunk firewall just ahead of the clutch pedal. It shares the same fluid reservoir as the brake master, so be sure to add some proper brake fluid (2ltrs.) to the list and flush/bleed the brakes while you're doing the clutch or you'll contaminate the whole system. Brake flush/bleed is a bi-annual maintenance item anyway, so likely you're due.
Cheers!
