Default TB/MAF/? maintenance

I'm the original owner of a pampered,never driven hard,bone stock 04 GT with close to 80k on it.Regular oil changes,all filters changed,and all other fluids changed,such as the dif,antifreeze, manual trans fluid,ps,and brake fluid.Plugs have been changed.
The car runs fine.Should I also be doing periodic cleaning of the TB, and MAF,..or anything else? ...or wait until I have an issue with them?Thank you..

I advocate for occasional cleaning of the MAF, every 10K miles is when I do it on most of my vehicles (same interval as cleaning/replacing an air filter).

If running a paper filter you could probably do it every 100K. I do it as often as I do because I run K&N style filters on a few of my cars, those tend to pass a little bit more stuff than paper filters.
