Frowned upon is very much up to personal preference. I also lean the same way as you that I want the old looks with modern conveniences.

The electrical work really isn't that bad. I find that most of the people who complain about the cost/work of conversions have never actually done one.

It really boils down to how you value your time vs your money. With fairly low skills you can do a conversion for cheap if you are willing to put in the time.
