Yet there are plenty of folks whose “rebuilt” unit from him lasted 2-6 months.
you are correct. Motor can be rebuilt, MC plunger replaced, and a few grommets can be replaced, but that’s it.

Depends on model year, but yes that part # works for most 98-99 (I.e., 100s *without* ATRAC/VSC).

Any help is appreciated

That's not good.
He was not clear on what he replaces on the master side when I asked him. On the motor side, he replaces brushes and commutator but not the bearings.
$1200?? Where are you seeing that. I saw a whole master cylinder assembly from Partsouq for $2100.
Check around US dealers like McGeorge, Marietta, etc. Partsouq / Impex / etc can be absurdly more expensive on some parts, like the MC.$1200?? Where are you seeing that. I saw a whole master cylinder assembly from Partsouq for $2100.
They were about $1k last fall when Toyota had their last parts sale- if you intend to keep your truck long term- it’s inevitable the unit will fail- if you have the means, buy a complete unit when it’s 45%off and hang on to it till you need it. The other risk to availability is when they are NLA.
Problem w longterm pre-purchase is what to do if installed say 12m later and unit is defective.
Fair point- it’s a gamble I suppose but very low odds you’ll have a defective unit out of the box unless there’s some apparent shipping damage that you’d take to account upon receiving.
@818Toyotafan - call your Lexus dealer, give them your VIN, get the exact part number, then go online or to your local Toyota dealer. My Lexus dealer charges full list on all parts, but you can at least get a solid part number from them before you shop around. I saved several hundred at my local Toy dealer on this part.
I got lucky and found a brand new OEM ABS master cylinder assembly from a MUD member who sold to me for $1000 after he no longer needed the full assembly. My local Toyota shop “Toy House” did install and bled the system for $428 out the door.
