Replace floor joists - would you?

Have an 11x60 from the '60s-
was advised to tear out ALL the frame for the floor because the joists run parallel with the ibeams. Says that they don't build them like that anymore and now they build them with the joists running perpendicular to the ibeams.
Currently the joists run the length of the home and 'slats' run from side to side. They are in good condition except where the tub was.
Would you rip up the floor and replace?
