Is the hardware actually damaged by the lack of coolant? If Herschel were placed somewhere where it could conceivably be restocked with consumables at some future time, could it be returned to service? I guess the people who don't want to crash it probably envision some Hubble-inspired scenario like that. I recall though, that the last Hubble service call had to be performed before the gyros and other components ceased to function entirely. It wasn't something that could wait 100 years.
