Struts - do you replace two or four

Is it safe to replace just two struts on a car, as long as they’re on the same axle? The rear struts on my Subaru needed replacement at 200,000 km on my last car and now on this one. The front (original) struts on both cars have seemed OK - no leaks and the front end doesn’t bounce. Would I be wasting my money to replace the front struts? Is there a safety issue involved? Is it important for any reason to replace all four struts at the same time?
