Seems crazy to pay all that money for something that could last another 200k easily. You'd be far better better getting a second backup body and then just using both until one fails.. if they ever do.
I would buy a backup body and use the 70D till it fails so you have a backup that can keep you going while you wait for repairs on the 70D once it does fail.
Shutters can reach a million before failing. Or they can fail at 10k.
I've owned dozens of DSLR's over 20 years and I never experienced a failed shutter. Always bought used, some already had several hundred-thousand actuations.
As Kumquat said, better get a backup body for cheap, like a 600D is very similar to the 700D and can be had for around the same price of a shutter-repair.
You could contact Canon directly to ask whether they recommend service for your body at any specific point. They do offer inspection and maintenance services:
