For my orchids - most of them (except for catasetum type in sphagnum) - incoming from the mail, I unpot and remove all or as much media as I can (bark etc), and then I repot into my own medium. I've done this forever ----- at any time of the year --- any time of the growing season. One is - I use a media of my own choice, and the other is to ensure there's nothing undesirable in the incoming media or in the roots. I give the bare roots and stem etc a very good wash-out with water before potting into new media.

Circumstances alter cases. In this case, the plant is in excellent bark (other sellers aren't as meticulous), it is growing well, leave well enough alone. Also, it's already an excellent medium for the OP so no need to change it. If bark is broken down (often the case) then changing it out for your medium of choice is a good one. Or if your growing conditions are so drastically different than the grower's then you you need to adapt. Here, there's no reason to do anything on either count.
