Have more than 80000 kms with three 8 mm one. Not saying you shouldn't, but can live without the change...
Well as long as yours is okay, we'll just ignore the horror stories and countless discussions we've had on here about upgrading the nut shall we?
For all you know yours could be fused on like mine was?
Other people have checked and either found threads stripped or no nut at all.
It's worth changing........but I agree I'd do chain and sprockets at the same time.

The main problem with the nut is overtorquing. The 8mm nut is fine IF it isn't overtorqued. Because most bike shops use airguns, the nuts end up with too much strain on the thread, which then strips the shaft. The 10mm nut spreads the load better, and has less chance of damaging the shaft if bolloxed up.
