Besides water pump and coolant thermostat, what other parts would you recommend getting swapped out during a head gasket replacement job?

Engine has 93k miles, but thinking long term...

Honestly thats all you need aside from every seal. A fresh drive belt and spark plugs wouldnt be a bad idea.

The timing chain tensioners if they are flaccid/have no tension.

It's a fairly routine head gasket as far as "modern" engines go.
