Not necessarily.  You never know when a cap is ready to blow.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not a good idea to replace tantalums with other kinds of caps.  

Replacing the electrolytics is a good idea, 'cause they're old enough to merit it.

I'm not a tech, but I'd check the boards for cracked solder connections & other stuff like that before shelling out the dough for the CEM's.
