Gilligan has admitted to this in several interviews. I was not even aware about the existence of phenylacetone, so it does seem like at least some of the drama around methylamine was used for dramatic effect.
Though, from the article I read (still looking for it), the problems Walt had obtaining methylamine wasn't plot bending enough to warrant
too much criticism toward the writers.
