That's if it is in proper good condition to start with after 50 to 60 years. The 123 are a pretty reliable bit of kit and my thinking is it's one less thing to go wrong on a ageing car, there's always stuff that needs doing if running them daily. If you have a dizzy in good condition and you're happy to maintain it then no need to change, if like in this instance it isn't and not correct a 123 is a good choice. But if he wants to source a original one, recondition it and maintain it then it will obviously work and be reliable as well. For me there's no valid argument against either option.
