Is there much point, given the solenoid valve is known to be O/C ?


Wouldn't the main solenoid be OC unless the pilot solenoid was
engaged? The fail safe lot get very fussy about gas...


No. It's just a coil of wire with a finite impedance. If the impedance
is infinite, it's stuffed!

Depending on the gas valve, the OP may be able to buy a new coil without
having to replace the whole valve.
