Good point. However, as a precaution, I decided to change all coolant hoses in the car (211K miles). Some of them had been replaced before but the ones connected to the bypass valve weren't.
While the valve was functioning just fine, the cost of the replacement hoses connecting to the valve and the amount of related labor pushed me towards adopting a much simpler solution, i.e., elimination of the valve.
Now that the job is done I am happy to report that after the modification everything is working great.
P.S. The whole idea of renewing hoses was a consequence of having to deal with a hose breakage in the Sierra Nevada mountains while on a camping trip. The cost of the new hose was just $13 plus half hour of my labor both unfortunately added on to the $700 towing charge.
