Peeling paint on guttering

Preserving wooden gutters
I have old wooden gutters on my property. They are at a point where most would simply have them replaced, however, they’re extremely important to me as it's a family home and my grandfather built them by himself sixty years ago. So I am willing to pay more than most would to preserve these gutters as long as possible. What efforts can I have, even radical efforts to keep these gutters going for at least another say ten to fifteen years? At what point, do worn down gutters become a danger?
Roofing during Covid
What steps are roofers taking nowadays given the covid-19 pandemic? How can I accommodate for this?
