I have a selection of DEC0XX parts on hand from my days in the mill.
Agreed. I have a few, but I used to make Qbus cards.
For most folks,
the only source is other cards.
Or plain TTL. LS241 is a good reciever for Q, U or Omnibus (Schmitt inputs)
and 74LS38 makes a good open collector driver. There are others.

Is it a bad idea to try and salvage/reuse the DC021 bus transceivers off
the CXY08 boards that seem to be so common and useless?

Anybody has a datasheet for them ?

DC021 is in the "Digital Semiconductor Databook 1987 Volume 1".
If it's not yet on Manx, I can supply just the relevant pages
(the entire thing is quite large).

Didn't know they were still printing books in 1987 ;-)
But if you could scan it, it would be great !
Thanks
