I know the oil change issue has been beaten to death, but on tranny fluid, looks like factory does not recommend any change there for a lot of miles.

Any good reasons to change it after a year or two?

ebaker is infamous around these parts
I haven't heard of any lubricant related transmission failures.

That's a bit extreme for a Porsche, imo.
