I drain and fill transmission fluid every 50K. The drain bolt cracked because it's made of plastic so I was forced to replace the pan. There weren't much debris inside the filter. It never leaked either. If the drain bolt didn't crack, I would say it's safe to use the pan for the life of the transmission.
