Not necessary to replace water pump or alternator unless they are already causing a problem. A consideration is that you may be tearing it down soon to replace them but there is no way to know that. You can get a sense by input of when others have experienced failure but even then it is just like the actuary tables for our lifetimes we all don't die at the same age. I would be more inclined to replace the water pump if it had over 100,000 miles on it and I had to pay for labor, could not DIY, but that is still a judgment call not a necessity. I would replace all the pulleys with bearings if they were all the same age as the are not expensive parts relatively speaking
