Don’t fix what is not broken. That said, you are a year behind mine, and it just needed replacement. It developed a small leak, controlled by the pan beneath it, and drained to the outside.
Do not sweat the expansion tank, most likely it is government over reach to subsidize some political donors from the plumbing industry. You have not needed one for the past 21 years, right?
