Good point, when you do a brake job you can re-use all the hardware, just be sure to clean up the starwheels real good with brake cleaner and use anti-seize where it threads and inside of the little cup. Usually, it's the little adjuster arm that turds rather than the starwheel. Use a brake rebuild kit every other rear brake job (new starwheels, springs, levers, etc) This is a pain, but those wheels and clickers wear out over time and stop adjusting.
Failing that, you can always use the 'adjust-it-yourself' method and go in through the view port with a brake spoon to give it a few clicks every now and again. Like when you get an oil change...
PS-A bad adjuster won't just give you sloppy pedal feel on the eBrake, it will take more effort to push the pedal down during normal brake application as well. More tahn just a nuisance--this could eventually develop into quite a safety hazard...
