Cleaning the EGR Cooler tube

I watched a YT video of a guy removing the EGR Cooler tube and I was shocked at how gunked up it was. The guy said it had to be done every 20-30k miles "or you will lose your engine prematurely as the "gunk" builds up and gets hard, only to enter the cylinders and destroy the engine.
Being my 1st Diesel, I know very little about what to do or not do. I'm seriously thinking of doing a delete, but need to wait until I can ascertain whether I can physically do myself (I have limited mobility due to spinal injury) and the extended warranty expires.
But if cleaning the tube will help engine life, then I'm sure I can handle that.
They (EPA folks) sure can screw up what likely could be an awesome motor... Idiots.
