Dont worry about small cracks, wait till the cvs need doing or they do split which could be a long time,my caravelle is using the original boots from the 81 van i scrapped 20 years ago.

That's the issue though, 40 year old automotive rubber might have another 10 years left in it. 2 year old automotive rubber has six months left!
Without importing them, I've not found a source of "good" CV boots. Vancafe sell a "Rockford" boot which is supposedly quite good. On the face of it not too expensive ($20 a pop) but by the time you've paid shipping and import duty etc you'll end up spending close to £200 for four of them

Pretty sure the UK supplied Berrisford High Angle Boot and Flange 100mm are the same as the Vancafe ones but the boss of Berrisford died earlier this year and they have closed the company, they still have some stock listed on facebook though, Google will take you to their site where the fb link is, I don't do fb so can't look through it as it locks up on me as I can't sign in
