Dayco is an OE manufacture for many manufacturers, it's a pretty solid belt. Quick answer is yes you should get it changed ASAP, I've seen a lot worse belts than this one and they drove to the dealership just fine.
Pros: pretty solid belt

I ran a Continental belt on my timing belt. 30k km's, absolutely revving the snot out of the car and ragging on the car for a long time. Belt survived no problem. Appeared to be good quality
Pros: good quality, belt survived
Mileage: 30000 km
Gates are reckoned to be the best.
Pros: reckoned to be best
My 2016 has 210k miles on the original timing belt. I check it every 5k miles during oul change. Still looks good. I’m a believer.
Pros: still looks good
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 210000 km
Got the Gates belt installed, but I haven't been able to run the car long enough to know if the noise is fixed. I did notice when transferring the timing belts from the Conti belt to the Gates belt that the Conti belt is a fraction of a mm thicker.
Cons: Conti belt thicker
Vehicle:
Audi TT
I have a 2015 Jetta S 2.0 which has stripped about 10-15 teeth off the timing belt.
Cons: stripped 10-15 teeth
