I think your opinion of the clutch is pessimistic. Failure mode for those is
probably about the same as the alternator. In fact when I replaced the
alternator on my Jetta it appeared that the alternator was original, I love the
clutch to the new one. Sprag clutches are pretty simple and robust.

ok, convince us! Personally i don't mind replacing the little shock
every 5 yrs or so, as it is easy to change. To me that is better than
adding a pulley that only lasts a couple years and can leave you
F.O.R.D. Even if you add in a belt every 4 yrs or so, it is still more
reliable in the long run than a rattle pulley that is known to fail
frequently.
