John,
Why was the mechanic suggesting riser gaskets? Did he shoot the risers with a temperature gun?
Stainless risers should last quite a bit longer than cast iron, but they still can corrode over time. Exhaust gasses are acidic and of course stainless steel can corrode (just at a slower rate). Pulling the risers, inspecting them and reinstalling with new gaskets is likely not a bad idea. The best case scenario, you advert a future problem at worse case you find out everything looks good and you have peace of mind.
