So does a stator

Seems like a lot of work to go the stator route and to figure out how to make it work as effectively as the distributor.

Since a stator usually spins at the same RPM of the crankshaft, while a distributor goes twice slower since its timing follows the camshaft, that might become challenging to some extent. I have already seen a VW Beetle with a stator mounted in the original location of the accessory drive pulley for the alternator (it had been also upgraded to a thermostatically-controlled electric fan).
