No more CFE

Perhaps, tes.
But you don't know until you try.

Hasselblad is still repairing a lot of the 'old gear'.
So give them a try!

What do you have to loose? Other than time and some money for shipping, you would have to give up wondering what could have been. And the time might pass when you could have gotten it fixed.

OT: People have not problem getting their car fixed, their camera fixed, ... but then they have problems getting their dog or cat fixed. Makes one wonder.

"C" type lenses were once refused for service because essential parts like the mainspring for the shutter were no longer available.
That is misleading information both the "C" and the later "CF" lenses use an identical spring.

Hasselblad nor Carl Zeiss have any other interest in this type of "F" lens than to service it if possible.
This lens is no longer available. It was last seen in the catalogue of 2001.

By sending the lens to Sweden you lose time in the event Hasselblad decides it needs parts that are no longer availble.
It is also possible Hasselblad charges a fair amount for the inspection of the lens.

Hasselblad will charge € 52,-, inpection, admin + shipping costs, when sent through an "official pick-up point".

Just cleaning the aperture mechanism at a local independant repair shop will be less than Hasselblad inspection.
Contaminated blades are a common cause for aperture failure.
