Given it’s an old car and by your post your worried about your budget, I’d ride it out, until it’s obviously blown.
If this was a newer car, I’d say replace them as your already doing all the labor to replace them anyway when you redo the bump stops, strut bearings and etc. replacing the would save you from doing the job 2x. I’ve replaced mine and it’s not a horrible diy job.
There is also the option to go to non adaptive struts, and code out the adaptive system.
Personally these struts seem to have a low failure rate and last a long, long time.
They aren’t like Koni which is noticeably tired after 30k miles.
