It depends on a lot of factors but if you have plenty of time to ride the bike and readjust as needed and make sure everything is as close to 100% as possible do it. If you haven't replaced stuff in a while it is not a bad idea to replace stuff especially for a long tour. However again you need time to ride the bike if you are replacing. Nothing worse than setting off on a long trip and you have fresh stuff and it isn't properly adjusted or settles in during the ride and your shifting is off and just gets worse and something bad happens and yada yada.
