It does work, but nobody really cares because of all the radiation involved.
Here's a paper, but given the date I have no idea if it was written by humans or by AI: https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.13461
Seems the radiation goes away in a decade or so, not a huge amount of time in the grand scheme of things.
And I guess irradiated gold or a weird gold isotope would be just fine for putting in electronics that is meant to go beyond low earth orbit.
