I changed out my gallery gaskets about a year ago on my 2011 and they were in perfect condition. They were really stuck onto the metal plate too and I had to scrap it off for like 30 minutes..

A couple of the screws could've been a bit tighter but asides from that they didn't needed to be changed.

I think it's easier and simpler to just install an oil pressure gauge, so that you can always monitor status and if everything's ok, no need to change gaskets.
That's what I did, 100k miles, 20psi pressure at idle. No reason to feed it money yet. For the cost of a shop to do it I'll probably just get a used 2014 up engine anyway.

I think your dodging a bullet here, please find a reputable shop and not a stealership to do this job.
