Over my former lifetime as a mechanic I have used the various methods of repairing of threads. Sometimes just the simple re-tapping of the threads will get you going but as threads become damaged beyond repair the drastic resizing the hole comes to reality. Making sure when drilling out the old hole as straight as possible then running a new tap for your insert is a critical part. I do share the same thought process of the type of application for the comfort of knowing it was done you felt good about. I keep these types of application parts on hand.
