Is OEM the only option for uni track bushings and sleeves?

I just serviced the rear suspension and linkage, and took a look at the unitrak. The sleeves and bushings all had rust on em. I need the bike up and running so I cleaned em up as best as I could and put waterproof grease for the short term.

How bad is it to run the bike with these rusted parts in the short and long term? On a scale of "you can get away with not replacing them" to "don't use your bike, the bike is gonna blow up," where do rusted sleeves and bushings fall?
