It's about managing risks. I don't think spring failure is common on D2. I have not heard of any. Every job you do on car comes with it's own risks that something else will brake or get damaged while doing it, especially on a old car, like braking studs or bolts. I think the chance of spring failing is smaller than something else going wrong while changing them so I would leave them well alone.
