Good move on the oil pressure gauge. At the very least, you can keep an eye on it. However, I think 15-17 is low enough to warrant getting the gaskets and hardware replaced.
I have a 2011 with 132K miles + extreme heat track days, and somehow I'm at 25 PSI at 180F (34-row cooler if you want to account for pressure drop, I don't know if that's true or not). If my idle pressures go down to 15ish, I'm definitely getting all that **** replaced.
