Honestly, it seems reasonable to me that they might need replacement, but it's hard to know without knowing the baseline play in the bushings when new (and there will be some). Race cars often need rebuilt dampers or rod ends fairly frequently with hard use.
If the car feels fine to you, and the bushings check out visually, don't worry about it IMO.
Edit: 12 events seems like a very low amount to require replacement from track use alone. I have a friend who tracked his M240i BMW track-only car for I *think* ~50-75 hours before he need to replace the dampers. He managed ~150 track hours before replacing his original driveshaft flex disk. I guess these modern cars are pretty hardy. So I guess my point stands: if it feels OK and looks OK, don't worry.
