That said, I'd keep the external reg as long as possible too.

They have, did, beginning back in about 1980, IMMHO.
Trying to think back about when I last had alternator problems. Keep coming up mostly with memories of the generator era. The only alternator failure that I remember having was in a 1992 LS400. The slip rings were of such "soft" copper that the slip ring brushes, with lots of wear left, had worn those down to the bare alternator shaft.
Oh.... NipponDenso alternator.
