In your situation, it would be quicker and cheaper to replace the
rafter.

Once the tiles have been taken off, the battens and felt, the rafters
would be exposed.


That's not going to fly I'm afraid. Once that lot is exposed, the roofers
will be keen to crack on with the new roof and I will be keen as hell to
let them, lest an unforecast downpour should occur.
Plus replacement of individual rafters is not a trivial job, even if they
are all exposed.


You don't have to replace them, just slap a good one in beside the
failing one.
