You could alternatively just have a couple reusable items on hand per machine instead of making every single disposable one reusable.

Yeah, that would be my recommendation. Make a supply of parts that can take the autoclave and keep them around for emergencies. If you had to use them because you messed up the supply chain (didn't order enough), big fine. If you ordered but the supplier couldn't deliver, no fine.

Even better! Seal them in a box labeled "break glass in emergency" if capitalism is the main objection.
