There is no advantage to using a polarised capacitor. The fact that electrolytic capacitors are polarised is a "disadvantage" (actually trade-off for higher capacitance) which arises from the physical construction of the electrolytic capacitor. An ideal capacitor is not polarised.

I don't see any obvious problem in using all ceramics on an Amiga mobo, but it would be nice to do some ripple measurements before and after with a scope.

Of course one may prefer to replace like-for-like just to retain the original looks of the board.
