Default To replace or not replace plastic ATF hoses

Have you ever replaced plastic ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) hoses? Mine is 22 years old, 1999 Lexus RX300, and I am afraid they can burst some day.

If so, please tell me where I can acquire the new parts.

Thank you.

I understand your concern, but I've learned over the years to leave well enough alone. If it ain't broke...

Worst thing I've ever seen these hoses to do is seep oil but that was because the spring clamps were old and rusty.
