If the rotors are at or below spec thickness, they 'should ' be replaced.

As a practical matter, the braking efficiency will be the same unless the rotors are too thin to absorb / conduct the heat of braking, i.e. the brakes fade. The swept area is still the same and the surface ripples will wear into the pads quickly. Take it easy on the brakes for a couple days.
