It's crossed my mind to just bypass the microswitch with a short. I've always been a bit obsessed though about keeping things functioning in their stock configuration. Last time I just sprayed the switch with contact cleaner, and it held for about 6 months. I should just replace it this time, and if it fails again, then I will likely bypass it.

I'm not sure I'd want to mess with the solenoid. I believe it also drives a cable to the ignition key cylinder, so it may not be easy or possible to just eliminate it.
