XJR Head Gasket

No issues with mine at this point, but curious. I see more threads than I care to about blown head gaskets and it got me wondering if a teardown and replacement is a normal preventative maintenance item (admittedly a major one) for a stock engine or is the kind of thing we all just sort of wait out and see how far we get? Is it a less expensive proposition to do it preventatively as I imagine it might not require milling of the heads or is a head gasket job always pretty much the same amount of effort? I have no mods on my car, nothing planned at this time, but if I ever do they would be minor, like a supercharger pulley and a charge coolant pump upgrade.

158k miles on the odometer. Car has a replacement engine that is newer than the car, but has unknown miles. Hard to read the numbers on the side of the block, but I think its 01 1123 0358, which I think means the engine was built on Nov 23, 2001 (car was built Sept 2000 as an 01 model).
