Conversely metal gear servos wear more under vibration.

However even a grossly out of balance system is not likely to cause problems with either, as long as the engine is not in direct contact with a servo rod/horn, etc...

If you are talking about say a throttle servo, things may be a bit different, and you may want to make sure that the throttle servo can "give" a bit to deal with vibration.

To add a little to what OPJose has said. The throttle servo will actually have a little extra dampening from vibration because you need to use nylon pushrods with a gasser, and not metal pushrods. Metal pushrods on the throttle servo on a gasser can cause interference from the ignition system to be transferred back to the radio system which can cause a lose of the plane.

As to your original question, your original servos will do just fine with the new gas engine in the plane.
