Whether or not you do the recall is up to you, unless you live in a state like California where it is required to renew your registration.
The post-recall failure issues have nothing to do with the valve springs themselves, but are typically around the amount of sealant used in certain areas of the repair. This gets into the channels and cuts off oil supply to the engine, resulting in a failure.
If your shop can show they have done these with no failures then you should be good. However, at 77K miles, it's unlikely you'll have the failure this recall "fixes". If it does fail, you may be able to get Toyota to cover the cost of that failure based on the wording of the recall. That's probably more of a crapshoot than getting the recall work done.
