I would not allow a summoning spell for undead, as that eliminates the need for the spells that create them.

Unless the summoner can only summon undead that he has created.

1. Faster gameplay

2. Less prep time.

3. Easy to houserule

4. Backwards compatable with earlier editions of D&D.

I believe it is possible to run a C&C game at any level, without magic items. The CK would have to find other rewards for the players, but the game would go on.
