Depends on the cleat. I use KEOs and they have wear indicators, but I usually have to replace them a little bit early. I wear out one corner a bit faster and it does something that pisses off my knee before the cleat gets to the increased risk of breaking thinness.

X series of speed play doesn't have wear indicators.
First time I broke one, the spring gave out and my feet didn't stay clipped in. Every time on the up cycle, my foot/shoes/cleets would pop off the pedal. Most annoying. So when it starts getting thin or looking pretty beat, I replace the cleets. Replace once a year maybe?
The amount of money I save by waiting till it breaks just isn't worth it. I have very little patience for worn and breaking equipment. Besides, when its amortized over time, I think cleets are pretty cheap.
