If it were me, I would, at that mileage, especially while you're doing the other work.

I'd change the accessory belt, too.

Yes to both! The original thermostat inlet is plastic, as are the water pump impeller blades, if I'm not mistaken. Just like the tensioners, newer generation replacements are actually better designed. New hoses and belt as well - which would hold true for ANY car!

Depends on model - unstated by OP! - some are metal.
