You'd probably have a hard time finding someone still manufacturing in this process... The inner workings are pretty well known and have been replicated in UAE and Minimig.

Yes, it'd be a complete waste to reproduce everything 1:1 on chip level. Even with relative crude (today's) technology it'd be no problem to integrate everything into a single die - just like what C= started with Hombre. Whether you'd use an FPGA or ASIC approach is a matter of investment and volume.
