I feel that the ISL9V5036P3's lack of suitable current limitation is unacceptable; in fact, that's one of the principle reasons why we exclusively use the Bosch BIP373's. As you mentioned, they can damage the MS circuitry, but also the coil with too much dwell. Ten milliseconds of dwell is more than enough to fry a stock coil. Irregardless of the ignitors, inductor based ignition systems still have limits, and CDI's aren't "fixes" but upgrades.
