Come spring time I'll probably be looking to upgrade to TOMs Racing brake pads. Mainly just for dust reduction.

"Brake pads that are designed for usage on high grade Toyota vehicles. Brake squeal and dust are kept at a minimum, and has enough stopping power for any weight given. Specs/ Asbestos Free, Up to 600°C Rotor Temperature Range"

You're right Oops You'd only have to replace if they're too thin to get resurfaced. Right?

Eventually, rotors would need to be replaced. Eventually.

But you're exactly right.

I had mine resurfaced when my brakes got really squeaky. Only had a little over 10k on the car at the time. 13k later, squeakiness is all but gone now.
