Seems like just changing the pads and bleeding till clean/flushing will work fine.
Who said that's the only way crud gets back to the master? I didn't. The point is that if you have fluid with debris in it, and you can if it is old, then you risk getting the crud between the bore and the piston cup in the master causing master cylinder failure. You also risk getting debris into the ABS unit.
It's your car. Treat it how you want. I'll take a moment and open the bleed port so fluid is not pushed backward.
