I converted one engine to petronix electronic ignition and its fine but minor wiring mod was required. I'm a little uneasy if it fails on trip; you could carry removed points to convert back in emergency.
I'm still running points in 2 other engines. Pretty sure points weren't changed for over 20 years in the truck. The points tend to be reliable for decades in low mileage applications. Cool thing is you can keep $5.00 spare points/condenser in the glove box.
I'd go electronic for >5000 rpm performance application.
