G50, cut a section near an elbow out and take a look at it and decide from there. Most turbulence is after an elbow, so more likely to erode the pipe there. It is likely fine. As others have mentioned "L" copper pipe, if changing any. The thickness of new elbows is very different to old ones also. I did a total repipe in our last house with copper, due to relocating hot water tank, went with PEX with this one. I think most of the water filters use HDPE same as the inside of pex, so not sure if filter is a good idea if trying to avoid plastic. Then there is always the lead used for older solder joints.
