Its a GM thing for the most part, Buick were the only ones smart enough to ditch them for a metal to metal connection.
As donuts suck since they banned abestos, its always when will they leak.
clear silicone helps em seal better if its not blow out, just miss shapen.

Re: donut gasket?
what would an exhaust shop charge to just replace it or even tighten it and silicone it?

I took it one step farther and drilled them out completely to use a nut and a bolt, knowing they will just freeze up and break off on removal, much easier to do that way, no drilling each time.
gonna cost money as it will be a job in the tight spaces.
