All code is maintainable with enough time and money.

But yes, well structured code where those rewrites are minimal is the goal.

There probably is a threshold where the amount you have to rewrite becomes too high. But with each rewrite, hopefully the next time you have a section you need to redo its smaller that before. Eventually going from rewriting a couple thousands of lines to just a hundred or so on the 5th iteration.
