If the house was built in the 80s and asbestos in joint compound was banned in 1977 I don't think there's much need to do that.

In joint compound it was banned in 1977. And I think you're looking for 1989 as a general ban not 99.

Lots of different applications of asbestos and they were banned at different times, sometimes state by state. Asbestos isn't outright banned, it's still used in various applications although far fewer than the mid-20th century. It may still be found in brake linings, for example.
