Otherwise I'd say no. It's quite expensive from what I understand. It won't leave you stranded. It gives you warnings over time with smoke out of the exhaust. So since you have plenty of warning, just do it when you start to notice excessive smoke.

Seconded. 
You're looking at $4000-6000 non-dealer cost to do the VSS on an N62. Not a fun or easy job. I think book time is something like 30 hours? My memory sucks though, so could be off on the time.
