Did the bank charge you for the replacement cards? Is there any real reason not to just regularly - say every 3 months - request a new card for peace of mind?

The biggest obstacle is that it's an annoyance to update the number for any recurring charges you have set up.

They did not. That stuff is basically a loss leader for them.
From what I recall with the Target incident, their cost is something like $2-5 for each replacement card, so it's not entirely trivial. If you requested a new one on a regular basis for no good reason, they might put a stop to it one way or another.
As far as peace of mind goes, since the consequences are so mild, I wouldn't worry about it.
