If you want you can check the bearings with plasti gauge and check thrust. If both are good I would say its good. But depending on your plans some new bearings and machine work always sounds reassuring.

I would imagine new bearings, machine work and labor probably .... 1000 - 1500ish for what you have listed. Probably hot tank the block as well.

I dont think you would need new caps just newly specd main bearings and maybe a new third cap if there is machining differences for the thrust and oil passages.

If it was my block, all mentioned machine work, new main cap on 3, new cam, main and rod bearings
