Pretty easy to fix the fan clutch, I put in a new Aisin clutch in mine a few years ago and its been working fine. Figuring the original one lasted over 15 years, this one will probably do the same. I had a Flex-a-lite fan but went back to the fan clutch for the simplicity and reliability. I did run a Napa replacement clutch and that thing lasted about 1 year before spalltering the entire engine compartment with sticky silicone oil. Still trying to clean that stuff off.
