Actually in some ways points have an easier life in a mag, because they are not switching relatively large amounts of DC. On the other hand many small engines the points open / close at crank speed, twice as fast as something with a distributor
I've had breaker points in many vehicles/ engines and can't say they were all that much trouble, really. Now that I'm old and feeble, l "I admit" changing dual points on a rear dist. engine like a 340 would be a PITA. I'd likely yank the dist. and go at it.
