Any concern about unleaded fuel in our Spiders?

My first Spider was an 850 back in the late 60's.
I currently have a pair: a '70 124 and a '79 2000 carburated, and these are the first I've had since leaded gasoline has been unavailable.
Since lead was used to cushion the exhaust valves, is there any concern regarding long term affects of unleaded fuel on out valve train?

Most of my other 50's, 60's and 70's cars have needed hardened valve seats to withstand the unleaded gasoline.

Sorry if this has been beaten to death, but my search yielded no forum results.

No need for additives.
