Your experiences/suggestions will be appreciated.

best idea is not to touch the push me pull you valve, just shut off the whole house, replace the toilet tank fill valve, and then turn the house back on. .
Then spend the $60 to get your valves changed out. I did most of mine myself, but had issues on one, so had Scott plumbing install a new one. . . Worth doing to reduce flooding risk. Risk is an intangible concept, so people have different interpretations of risk and the cost to insure. In this case, the risk of failure is low, but not zero, and the damage cost is high if not home, but the cost to insure is low, so pick your response and take your chances.
