You'd need to have two copies of lenses like that. One to use and one for parts. Kind of like owning a really unusual car. You also need to be your own mechanic. Some of the older Canon EF lenses have fallen into that category of being totally unsupported with no spare parts available. You might consider adapting a somewhat more current lens like an EF mount Sigma 120-300mm f2.8.
Everyone has their own risk metrics. I don't find the risk vs reward great enough with some of those old lenses.

a good idea and strangely something i hadn't considered.
i expect there would be a general loss in burst and AF speeds but the same goes for the adapted 4/3 lenses as well.
thanks.
