I wouldn't worry about it too much,
Other than try to clean your oil with an additive to get better flow into
the rocker arm areas.
I've only ever seen one real rocker arm problem ever.
I have bucket fulls of spare rocker arm sets around.
Most people never ever take the rocker arms off the shafts and inspect
things there.
I don't, unless there's some real reason too, and I've never had a real
reason to yet in hundreds of vanagons worked on.

Subject: Rocker shaft and rocker wear question

I have some slight galling (or small gouges) at three places on my
rocker shafts and three corresponding rockers have slight galling as
well.  I looked at my spare set of rockers and they had much more
galling.  Is this somewhat "normal" for a motor with 150K?  Should I get
new shafts and rockers or is there something that is OK.  There is not
much advice in the three book that I have other than wear limits for the
shaft and rocker.  Thanks
