I believe the reason anaerobic sealant was/is used is to make it easy to get the water pump off when it’s time to replace it. I can’t think of any other reason. I believe there’s nothing wrong with using a gasket. Heck you could use RightStuff if you wanted, but you would have a hail of a time...
I have a priming tool that fits into the vacuum pump hole and is powered off a drill. You are welcome to borrow it. It will flood the bearing surfaces with engine oil prior to start up.
