Can confirm. I did them a bit on the proactive side because of the water pipe issue. At the time, a seal job was ~$6500. They did the seals cause they were 'in the neigborhood' for $3000 added onto the AGA install. Of course, I ended up going pretty deep and replaced most wearables in the general vicinity. But that was something like 6 years and ~80k miles ago. Haven't heard a peep since.

The '04 4.4 though *will* smoke on a hard accel after idle and I am getting some oil consumption. I can *feel* the seals wanting to drop. It's at 55k miles.
