Replace hub bolts when replacing rear bearings?

Should the four hub bolts get replaced when replacing rear wheel bearings? I can't find guidance anywhere on the Interwebs and don't have access to a Bentley manual. I know certain bolts are one-time use though. These are the grade 10.9 bolts with the fat washer pn 33306772430.

I wouldn't bother. When I do them in the shop I just reuse the old bolts and not had a problem with it in the last 15yrs.
