My Apple ID is set to an old email address I no longer use, but I'm seemingly not allowed to change it to my current (and only) address as that is used as my noticication email address. This seems pretty odd. Is there a work around? ....or am I missing something obvious?
You need to remove the email address from your Apple ID.
Apple hasn’t published any guidance for using an address again. Normally, if your e-mail address was associated with an ID in any way, for example as a Reachable at or Rescue e-mail address, then it can't be reused with another Apple ID for approximately one year. I have also seen posts that stated Apple told them there was a 30 day waiting period before the address could be used again. You will need to get another e-mail address to use as your Apple ID or you can try waiting 30 days after you remove it from your ID to see if that works.
