Anytime that you find anything in the brakes that is of concern, repair is
necessary. One thing that I noticed here is that it sounds like some of the
shoes are 40% at least one is 100%, others may be different from that. Since
the brakes work best when all of the linings are in the same condition (that
being excellent), I would recommend a complete brake job.
