That's a lot of work and additional potential failure points to avoid a bit of soldering every 20-30 years. Modern capacitors are better than the old ones ever were, and while tantalum capacitors *can* fail, as can chips and transistors and anything else, but they're certainly not a wear item. I have lots of old stuff with 30+ year old tantalum caps that still work fine.
