I have 6 Radion G4 Pros. Three are 7 years old and three are 8 years old. Should I anticipate replacing soon? Running the Phoenix 14K spectrum at 100% and getting 350-400 par at lower Third of tank.

That's pretty good par so I am not thinking they are fading yet. but 100% is definitely going to shorten the life span.
How long have you had them running like that?
maybe not anticipate but don't be surprised?

Know the history of them before you cranked them up?
They are electronics, **** can happen anytime. G4s seemed to be a pretty quality light. I ran 3 over a 125 for a while with lps and softies, only ran 55%.

Keep an eye on the par and just like the old MH 14K bulbs, replace when the spectral output fades. My dream light would have an indicator built in to indicate it was getting weak, and then when it must be replaced. So far, it's just a dream that no one has built.
