I'd certainly make the LH C# standard and do away with the banana key if I were ever to make my own oboes.

But if you do have the money and are willing to part with your oboe for a few weeks, a LH C# key will be a worthwhile keywork alteration.

The LH C# key is a pretty chunky piece of keywork as is has to have room beneath it for the LH F and D#-E linkage, plus the pillars. And if there's enough room between the RH C-D trill key barrel and the feather (LH pinky cluster) barrel, then it can run in this gap. Most oboes don't have a lot of room there, so other ways of mounting it have to be found (usually further down the joint). And it's a long lever so it may also need a guide (as on clarinet trills) to keep it well aligned.
