Default Brake piston dust seal cracked. Replace all seals?

I noticed the dust seal on one of the rear caliper pistons has a little hole in it. The rubber was pretty much baked to death (due to heat from track days).

Honda don't sell the dust seal on its own, it only comes as a kit with the other brake seals. Should I replace all the other seals, or will they still be in OK condition? There's no sign of any fluid leakage as such.

Don't hurt yourself over it.. they will all self-destruct with track use and I don't think it will make much difference, there is an inner seal that maintains the piston seal. They are all a pain to replace.

I'm thinking I'll order the parts and just get a reputable brake shop to do the job. I hate the smell of brake fluid in the morning...
