No, you can't change the tensioner without pulling the front cover.
If you had metal flakes in your oil, and you're sure they came from the engine, you should drop the lower oil pan and pull the oil filter and inspect. Determine if they are aluminum or ferrous, and inspect the oil pickup for debris.
Toyota's timing components are nearly infallible, but you can always be that 1in/1million
