I spent 10k for a head gasket/clutch/belts/pully's etc. for my 06 wrx wagon with 170k. Sometimes cars aren't logical.

My 2008 STi made it to 150k before needing them done, aftermarket buffer ones are on now and my poor 2010 2.5i had it's done at 35k under warranty but hasn't had an issue so far at 85k so we'll see I guess.
Pros: aftermarket buffer ones

Pros: no head gasket issue
Yes, I replaced the head gaskets in our 2008 2.5 non turbo Outback at 120k miles. They started leaking oil externally at probably 80k miles.

had three head gaskets done over a couple of years, second one told the put in a new timing belt while there in there , mechanic said it looked good , third time they finally used the correct gaskets, had heads surfaced, new head bolts, a few months later started leaking oil from the head gasket, they tightened 2 head bolts to fix it, poor fix but it worked
Pros: correct gaskets used
Cons: leaking oil, poor fix

Cons: always leaked oil

after 70k be worried about your head gasket failing. Idk if Honda ever improved the head studs or torqued them tighter but earlier models up to 2023 with more than 70k miles are likely to have head gasket issues resulting in misfiring.
Cons: head gasket failing
