All of the performances of (Mozart)operas that I've seen with an onstage group have used modern instruments despite wearing period costumes. I think the average opera viewer wouldn't notice, but that's always bothered me.
Are there any other Mozart operas with a "banda", or is Don Giovanni the only one?
