To catalog or not to catalog has always been a question that never has had a good answer. So let me put it this way, I have a catalog db and I use it. But I also practice restores without it and don't have a problem. Course it helps to have a tape librarian with lots of memory. Ours likes to retain stuff for 3 years. The controlfile 90 days. Try "restore controlfile from '<media handle>';" where <media handle> = c-<date>-<dbid>-00 if you need something beyond that 90 day point.

So what it if ages out you can always just re-catalog it and then restore.
