Yes but not immediately.
I did a one off many years ago for the positive side of a wound field alternator with a commercial IC that has worked out well. I'd like to regulate the charging on some small equipment that is hard on batteries and I also told myself that I'd roll my own if I ever need another John Deere unit for the airplane. I like more temperature compensation than commercial regulators incorporate (and my batteries seem to agree...)

Understand. If that project bubbles to the top of your to-do list, lets talk. If you like, I could perhaps contribute to your project with an etched circuit board layout.
Keep an eye on developments in the rectifier/regulator world for PM alternators. The Ducati design is now probably pushing 40 years old and there's been a lot of new ideas and products added to the mix in the interim.
I'm exploring some of the COTS options for a client and may have some recommendations to share in the not too distant future. Then there's those lithium thingys getting a toe hold in the marketplace. They're here to stay. They're not the ticking time- bomb we've been let to imagine. BUT . . . they are NOT lead-acid drop-ins. Every kid and his dog wanted to get into the SVLA business wayyyyy back when and those unable to perform were a brief flash on the horizon. I suspect the lithium products will bubble up and be filtered in the marketplace as well. I'm working the 4th installment to the lithium saga for Kitplanes.
I love this business . . . tomorrow . . . you can do more for $less$ with better performance, lower weight, smaller space than you can today. It's exciting.
But just because the Ducati style is dated does not mean that it's unserviceable or unworthy of consideration for improvements. It's your kitchen chef . . . variations on a theme may be just what's needed to fit your design goals.
