Adding admin-ajax.php to the frontend. Good or bad idea?

You could just use a RewriteRule to your .htaccess above the regular permalink rewrite rules:

RewriteRule ^ajax$ /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php [L]

Now send your AJAX requests to example.com/ajax, and never miss core changes to that file after upgrades.
