The hose is reasonably snug and doesn't fall off per se, but I can pull it off the valve with a good tug. Should I just go ahead and replace the fuel breather hose, or will it be OK? I can't really see a scenario where it just slides off, but is there high pressure on it?

Use zip ties to hold it in place then decide if you want to spend the cash on another hose. Same thing happened to me and I used two spare hose clamps because it was cold and dark when I had finished. I planned on buying a new hose but I got lazy
