I also still have points in my 100 and I set and maintain them myself. I
always carry a spare set of points, condenser, rotor cap, distributor cap and
plugs. I also have a complete set in my garage. Knock wood, I've never had
a problem with any of them while driving, but I have helped more than a
few others out of a jam on the road. I enjoy getting in there and doing the
work. I started doing it in the 70's on Healeys and it just kind of brings
me back every now and then.
If I raced my car, I might go different. If I didn't enjoy getting in
to the engine compartment, I might go different. If I wanted a new car
feel, I might go different. But I like the 1953 engineering, that's why I
bought the car. It's a personal preference. I say fit your car however you
please, your taste and how you want it are your choice. Set it up the way you
want and then drive it how you want, the key words here being, drive it! And
if going to electronic ignition is going to get you to drive your car more,
enjoy it more, then by all means, go electronic. It's your car. Like many,
I didn't buy my car to let it sit in my garage. I bought it for the smiles
it brings me and others while on the road.

Interesting question. In my 100 I still have points and have learnt how to
set the ignition - it's not too hard.
With the electronic ignition: Is there a difference if you have a 4- or a
6-cylinder car?
