To set the stage, I'm happily stuck in a 7 speed / freewheel world, understand how freewheels work, do all my own bicycle maintenance etc...

It's an old Suntour 7 speed freewheel that has probably given reliable service for decades. I had this happen to another Suntour freewheel several years ago and when it became too regular I replaced it. Which lead to the question... With a skipping freewheel, how long do you let it go before replacing the freewheel?
Well, being a cheap b*****d I try riding in different gear combinations to avoid the worn cog as long as I can, but really your freewheel should be replaced now if you can't find replacement cogs.
