If it's a radiator good shop, no reasons not to recore the old one, if the pans/tanks are good. They'll probably use a modern core, which will be different but more effective.
If its leaking in the core, then they're probably OK. Tank leaking then need to find replacement to recore.
I think I paid $600 to do the last radiator core pre-covid, but pricing is crazy post covid. I had heater cores done and I posted that pricing recently, up ~15%.
There's plenty of ways to get extra volume capacity, so I doubt that has much impact to the cooling as much as the radiator area and fan design. Aluminum is OK, but needs the right anticorrosion additives on a iron engine.
