As the owner of a synth with joystick I can tell you it IS a problem
(especially when there's no spare parts at all and the joystick control
parameters not available some other way)

ButŠ

the joystick used by Elektron is a "common" make from a big manufacturer
(seen it while browsing for this kind of gizmos last spring) so a replace
would be possible. If Elektron has a brain (and I think they have) they have
a stock for servicing (buying a joystick for private customers can beŠ well
IS a headache, manufacturers are more prone to sell to militaries, plane
manufacturers or high end pro video gear)

Also joysticks are now more standard than they were, usually the same pot
values and roughly the same sizes.
