Since the bugs are pretty big and easy to see you could try a small repot. One of my plants had those too not sure which one. I did a quick repot and pulled out 4 from the soil and I haven’t seen one since.

centipedes are predatory and totally harmless to plants. They'd either be there by happenstance or because they were hunting some other critter. Millipedes, on the other hand, mostly eat decaying plant matter, so they're more likely. In either case the plant will be fine and they should try to flee when you repot. And if it was very weird and leggy, it could've been a house centipede. Those are attracted to moisture
