You should be able to just get the new boot on and move on. The problem occurs when people see the grease keep riding and over the span of a few months pick up a lot of road dirt and pebbles that get lodged in the joint and then begin to eat away at it. That is when the clicking noises occur and the CV joint is no longer good. As said before act on it know and save yourself the headache and unnecessary repairs.
