IMHO fluid and filters are a Lot cheaper then transmissions.. I'm sure I toss away synthetic fluids that are doing just Fine, but having fresh fluid in there in peace of mind that I'm doing everything I can to keep said componentry alive.

I'd stick w/ 30K fluid and filter changes, it's cheap insurance.
