You can, or could, get NOS steel chainstay protectors a few years ago on eBay. I found a couple from a US seller.
The closest thing I found just now on a quick search is this, UK and aluminum: https://www.velobitz.co.uk/chainstay-protectors/velobitz-vintage-retro-plain-aluminium-chainstay-protector-self-adhesive Long ago (I was 16 or so) when a heavy 1/8" chain on a smallish ring and cogs with lightly sprung derailleur cage would bounce on the stay over bumps, I cut a "silver" cs protector out of the "tinned" inside of a tin can, with tabs on each end to bolt it under the stay, It looked good (or so I thought then) and worked well.
