Default 1999 Accord Engine cradle rust repairable?

Had the timing belt/wp all belts etc replaced on my 99 EX V6. They said while there were in there that there was rust in the engine cradle on the right side. From what I could see this can be replaced, that the cradle is a part that is just bolted in based on that they are for sale on EBAY. The core support also has a little rust. But they said in about 5 years (how they guess that) it could be an issue.
This car is rust free other then up front. hate to have a rust issue car up front, looks like it could be fixed?

This is a known problem on 6th gen(98-02) Accords.
Where the HVAC drain is, it piddles right there on the subframe. Not sure if the NHTSA had Honda recall these cars for this.
