Of course I drive with the clutch in mind by not launching and not keeping the bearing engaged for long periods.

Ya want me ta
some of these guys fer ya ..??
As far as a bearing spinning …. my take is that if it's gonna go, it's gonna go .. just keep oil in the machine. If you have someone take the engine apart now and replace the bearings … the rebuild may set the engine up for a bearing failure sometime in the future.
As far as the TOB (oh, BTW, the TOB on this machine is always turning, as long as the engine is running, however, it's only "working" while the clutch is pushed in). As far as replacement, as you said, one going bad will usually give you a "sign", like whining or screaming.
Hell, I say just drive the car and enjoy it ….
Like they say in the old country .. if it ain't broke ….
