Brand new tire on the left. 2 year old, about 9000 miles on the right. I am way over the estimated life of the tire from the manufacturer but I’m no where close to getting to the bottom of the tread wear indicator.
Would you replace these tires?

I’ve never gotten a flat with these tires (well never a puncture that sealant didn’t seal). No significant nicks. I cannot really tell if the grip has lessened. If it has, it has been gradual and I haven’t noticed the change.
Don’t see anything to indicate a change
9000 miles? How? Are you riding on soft kitten fur roads?
I mean they are a bit dry, but after 9K miles, I’d expect that.
You are an absolute legend. Keep those out of the landfill as long as you can. Run them until they ACTUALLY become a threat to your teeth/life.
Depends on how hard you corner! Personally I’d probably run that as a rear, but not a front. I can save a slightly squirrely rear tire but if the front lets go it’s usually lights out.
Replace the whole bike, it appears to be a road bike, plenty of good mtb deals to be had right now
