Failing open will pretty much always not damage any other circuitry.
Failing short will usually not damage other circuitry, since usually a fuse will blow or the power supply refuse to start.
For the above reasons, I wouldn't preemptively change capacitors. From an effort point of view, changing them in the unlikely event of a failure is far less than changing them all 'just because'.
