as long as it is done in a way that it can be restored to its original, i have no problems in using newer technology in older machines. we have a alix sbc build into our tek 4002a for demonstrational purpouses, all done without damaging or altering the original machine.
I'm a bit more pragmatic. Whatever it takes to get something running, I'll do it. For me, that's the entire point of having the old stuff around. Otherwise, a non-working box is scarcely better than any other piece of antique e-waste. If there's an accurate emulation available on modern hardware, I'll use that rather than play with some old, cranky piece of iron.
Others may certainly have different opinions. --Chuck
