About to replace the water pump and wondering if I should do the hoses as well. It’s an extra $130(RockAuto, GM OEM) that I’d rather not spend but I’d also rather not break down. The van is a 2013 with 168k. The hoses look/feel good but I know they can have invisible internal failures. As far as I can tell they are factory hoses. How long do these factory hoses usually last?

In my experience anything rubber isn't going to last more than about 10 years. Is normally more of a time thing than it is mileage.

If it looks fine and works fine, then I wouldn't try to "fix" it.
People who talk about "invisible failures" are usually trying to sell you something.
