The kind of volumes you would need to make an ASIC cost effective would
be far too big for the Amiga market.
You're implying that FPGAs are dodgy in some respects: the timing won't be particularly easy to do even in an ASIC and if the FPGA timings are well designed and troubleshooted then I don't see why an ASIC would give a more
reliable result.
