It seems it wouldn't be too difficult to retrofit a stock fuel-rail to accept more modern, easily available and reasonably priced fuel injectors ...

It's harder than you think ! I'm doing some right now. Using a Delphi two port one.
1. had to make brass sleeves. The new injector tips are larger, so just drilling out the manifolds wouldn't work. Not enough surface area to get a good o-ring seal.
2. Drill out the manifolds and solder in the sleeves.
3. Make fuel rails to fit over the injectors. New injectors use an o-ring on top instead of the hose.
4 make clamps to hold the fuel injector rail down to the maifolds to hold it and the injectors in.
5. adjust fuel pressure cause of the change in injector caracteristics.
Now for me, tuning is easy with the megasquirt, simply adjust map/fuel bins and injector time. I'm going one step further and building a new plenum for my new 50 mm throttle body with idle circuit control.
Thats not to say some other injector wouldn't be a closer match IDK, but then there is the impedance (resistance basicaly) of the injectors to deal with then.
Did I muddy it up enough?
