I used a 6mm prussik cord. It is probably can bear less load than the original webbing and is more prone to abrasive damage, but it does the work (for a while, at least).
What are your opinions?

I agree with your main critiques. Probably the original sling, even if fairly worn, would be stronger than the 6mm.
Also:
 sling is a bit long if racking on a shoulder sling
 knot is bulky and may hang up on other stuff on your rack if racking on a shoulder sling

I love tied slings and have old stoppers and hexes on perlon.

But, dude, spring for reslinging! The feedback above is spot on regarding strength. Larry at Mountain Tools does really sweet job
