Of course the ignition is crucial to engine operation. Obviously. If the
entire ignition system (both mags and the manifold) is rendered inoperative, then of course the engine dies. That is also obvious. One doesn't need "sources' to figure that out. Furthermore, the ignition system is redundant in that there are two systems. That redundancy counts as backup. Not sure why you're talking about it not having a backup.
At any rate, the kind of incoming fire that ruins an entire ignition system will ruin other systems as well, and will pretty much render the aircraft impotent anyway.
You're using the game's damage model to shape your thoughts on how vulnerable specific real-world auxiliary engine systems are, while showing no real-word knowledge on the actual engineering of these systems.
