Still, the logic is that if I can barely afford to do it once, then I can't afford to do it twice. So if I have to get a new c/s I will but not really lookin' forward to it.

Ya know, Id be really reluctant to say one way or the other. I think before I made any decision on it, Id take the CS and the 5th gear to a machinist and get an inside and outside mic on it. That would tell you what the clearance is anyway. Then maybe look up what the correct tolerance is supposed to be.
TBH, I have no recollection what mine looked like.
With the absence of a bearing there, Im going to make the assumption (and it is an assumption) that the area you're concerned about either has very little movement (the gear spins at the same speed or close to the same speed) or very little pressure that it's subject to.
Id still get measurements to be sure. It would probably be cheaper than buying a new CS
