It's a neat design challenge to make a one-player mission into a two-player one - whether that style be using Archon Mode or a Co-Op one.
For instance, take Brood War's Episode 4 Mission 6, "Return to Char". The player is given one Protoss camp, and one Zerg camp, to complete the mission. Sounds like a straight-up Co-Op mission, to me. OR you could take the Archon way and in-game explain that Artanis and Kerrigan are both controlling his units AND her swarm. Hmm. No, that doesn't seem right. Co-Op it should be for that mission.
But take Brood War's Episode 6 Mission 5, "True Colors", into consideration - one army vs. two factions - and Archon Mode would work wonderfully there!
However, there are many missions that wouldn't really need an Archon or Co-Op Mode to make them enjoyable. Sometimes, like WoL's Ghost of a Chance, it wouldn't make sense.
Yes, Blizzard is against putting out official SP maps with modded content.
For a custom campaign, however...
Like I said, it's a neat design challenge for campaign makers out there.
