Hardly anything can be absolutely garrenteed. But it seems reasonable to me to say that the chances of a career would go up when we live in an era of performance where authenticity sells better than what sounds "good."
For instance, just in the past few years trumpet players are starting to move to completely natural trumpets instead of the pseudo natural trumpets that have anachronistic vent holes which is what period groups have been using for the past 40 years. Many would say it sounds worse but that doesn't matter because objective of this field is to recreate the past warts and all.
Being the only castrato or one of the few castrati on earth would certainly boost your career opportunities today.
