Yeah, it was interesting to watch the progression from early titles like Combat and Breakout, which followed the design guide to the letter, to latter stuff like Jungle Hunt and Crystal Castles, when the developers had really started to hone in on how to really maximize the architecture in ways unenvisioned by the original designers.
As for re-programming old carts, folks are actually manufacturing new cartridge PCBs with EEPROMs on them.
