And it's well less that a two-hour job. There's a method I've used (on my E53) that doesn't require the removal of any CV or the axle from the car. See this thread/post.

Undo a couple of bolts, cut off the old boot, release the axle from the CV, clean up and re-grease the CV, slip new boot onto axel, pop axle back in, slip new boot into place and secure, bolt everything back up. Have a beer...
I would do 'em rather than leave them. CVs will last the life of the vehicle if kept clean and greased - less if not. And I know axles are cheap in the US but they aren't cheap Downunder.
