Even if the original negatives decay to a point where they're completely beyond restoration, maybe technology will one day improve to the point where you can do a complete restoration from something as crappy as the GOUT.
You'd still be better of using existing 35mm prints (however faded they may be) than using the GOUT as a source. It's a lot easier to color correct than it would be to digitally manufacture detail. The prints are out there- collectors have them.
