Tantalum caps....they are excellent caps and would be even better if not for their MnO2 dielectric which ignites.... sometimes.
New tantalums don't have it (polymer etc).

I would replace those that decouple power. Those that are DC blocking etc, that is are not subject yo potentially high current if shorted, I'd leave be.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
