What is the current state of keyboard repairs for the 12"

I was gifted a 12' 2016 Macbook that has a bum keyboard. This sounds like a terrible gift, but it's actually a great little project for me, and I've always wanted one. The spacebar/return/shift keys are all either not working or unreliable. I'm also missing the right shift key cap.

I'm trying to figure out what my keyboard repair / replacement options are.

Will Apple still fix this for free? (unlikely). Will they replace it a charge?

I can see that iFixit has a keyboard replacement for $200 - what is the quality of that? https://www.ifixit.com/products/macbook-12-retina-early-2016-2017-upper-case-with-keyboard

Are there any other options? I'm fine with spending a little bit of money to fix this (like the ifixit charge).
