yes allowed (not desired but not a mandatory equipment item -- per pilots in previous discussions --not aware if there is a time max on this ), passengers were given prior notice and a choice. The other choice would have likely been cancellation.

probably same or more than you would have gotten for a cancellation -- seems a win for you.

may have thought it was a correctable issue -- you were given notice before departure once the full situation was known.
