The main considerations with replacement vs restoration, are whether you have asbestos or modern composite linings, bonded or riveted linings.
Drum brakes were never intended to run anything but asbestos linings. When the great switchover occurred in the trucking industry, there were exploding...
There shouldn't be a problem if you soak them well in brake cleaner. On servo brakes, saturated linings tend to get a little grabby, and skid the tires, but the non servo brakes in a deuce should be fine.
