We had ignition switch issues with our '74 and managed to get a good used one from Bruce Madden/RedRacer. I would certainly try to locate a good used one if you can.
That said, it would be prudent to wire up relays for the both the starter solenoid circuit and ignition "ON" circuits of the ignition switch. This preserves the contacts because they only carry the low current of the relay coil rather than the main load of the circuit. For our '81 Alfa GTV6 (which also has an unobtanium ignition switch), I ended up wiring in a separate relay for each of the ignition switch circuits---starter, ignition on, and ballast resistor bypass circuit!
