13 year-old salt water pool. I suspect my seal has been leaking for a while.

I seem to only need to replace the motor, impeller, seal plate and seals. About $1k
I don't want to spend $1k on parts only to turn around and have to buy a new unit ~$2k.
I have a 13 year-old IntelliTouch control center and a brand-new IC40 SWG.

I'm trying to decide on repair or replace. So my questions:
I'm thinking about doing the nodejs-PoolController. Any issues?
Thank you!

I'm trying to decide on repair or replace. So my questions:
- Would my existing touchpad and electronics on the motor be good and transferable to a new motor?
Or - Would a new Pentair pump and motor unit work fine with my existing control center?
