2 years ago(ish) my RMS went from slightly weeping to outright sobbing. While the car was apart I told my mechanic to do the clutch as well.... they called me shocked that the clutch was still over 95% and advised I didn't need to change it. The following weekend the pressure plate springs failed.

Now they were good guys, and I ended up with a new clutch for free as an apology for them talking me out of it in the first place and it costing me a day at the track, but my rule of thumb is when the clutch is exposed and it has been in there for a fair amount of time, change it no matter how it looks.
