I have easy access to the knock sensor and am wondering if I should replace it, even though it is not throwing any error codes/no check engine light.

Is preventative maintenance warranted or should I just leave it alone?

Leave it alone. They seldom fail and unless you use a factory part you may end up with other problems.
