Yes, because of the age of the breakers, I didn't trust them. Changes in
function and wiring over the years had left some of the breakers too large
for the loads.

Personally, I don't fuse to the load, but to the wire, being
conservative. I also don't like carrying fuses, and more trust the
breakers. Given what I think I'm reading, if you're worried about the
breakers, I'd replace the panel, not add complexity and possible failure
points.
