I think this is the part that went out on our NHW20 Prius. Around 105,000 miles, my wife was in Wisconsin, when the pump that cools the electronics side of the house went out. She was advised by the Toyota dealer that she could drive it, but take it slow. It wouldn't go over 25mph, so it took a while to get to the dealer... They said "This never happens." but conveniently had 3 of the pumps in stock, and could do the work same day. I don't know how typical this really is, but I am guessing the swap wouldn't hurt, and could save you from being stranded sometime (and keep you from paying dealer rates on parts and labor).
Our car was driven "like other people drive" for the first 95,000 miles of it's life (before we got it), so I would expect your components to last longer... just how much longer?
