Your valve problems have more to do with the fact that you are running unleaded fuel in an engine designed for leaded fuel.
Optionally, the use of hardened valve seats allow for the use of modern unleaded fuel.
You can purchase a lead aditive for old engines to help with the old style valve seats. Some guys run AV Gas which is actually leaded but not technically legal to run in on road vehicles...
For a couple hundred miles per year I would not worry about it.
