I think what it comes down to is that race engines aren't really expected to last very long, the idea is to produce as much power as possible, use that power as much as possible, and overhaul the engine when it stops making as much power as possible. If you're building a race engine, go for it, don't worry about it, and get as much power as possible. If you're building a fast engine for a daily driver, then you need to look for the median between power and longevity. Maybe the damper only serves to reduce noise and provide comfort for the driver, and doesn't serve to extend the life of the bearings. Regardless, this sounds like an interesting project; good luck with it.
