Just noticed that the pulley’s teeth seemed a bit “pointy” 😅. The shifting seemed fine, though. Is this candidate for replacement ASAP?

Yeah it’s probably time. I wouldn’t say ASAP if you aren’t noticing any issues. I would probably replace at least the lower one when I put on a new chain.
Replace a year and a half ago.
Not ASAP. Easy job though
It’s truly remarkable how worn a set of pulley wheels can get without shifting and chain retention degrading. You should order a replacement set and install them when they arrive, but you can continue riding in the meanwhile.
While you’re at it, get yourself a Park Tool CC-4.2 Chain Checker and make sure you’re not past the wear limit 😛 Pulley wheels are cheap, but burning through cassettes and chainrings because you don’t replace your chain often enough gets expensive FAST.
