Electric water heater- 10 years old

Will keep the question short.

10 year old Rheem electric tank heater (2012) installed in attic space for a portion of the house. All working fine. Not easily accessible. Do you proactively replace due to age or wait for it to fail?

Being in attic space, my concern would be eventual leaking and subsequent damage. Do relatively modern tanks rot out and leak due to age or just stop heating?
