After all the scaremongering on here and having passed 100K miles I figured I should replace these. Evidently changing the oil every 7K miles is well worthwhile. £1600 I didn't need to spend, but at least I now have peace of mind.
Not sure I agree with your assessment on the oil changes. Plenty of shells have been pulled showing significant wear from engines that are meticulously maintained. Your current S65 fell on the right side of the clearance curve.

I do agree that it would be nice to be able to check the clearances without having to take the damn thing apart. Since you cannot, you might as well change them or risk a very costly failure.

Cheers,
