If it was my car I would. I'm not interested in getting the last few miles out of pads and risk metal-metal contact when you are not expecting it.

Minimum spec for the rear is 2mm for the pads.

you might be surprised how reasonable new rotors can be. I plan to replace them with the pads this summer. Replacing the fronys made a big difference, but mine were super nasty.
