I know a lot of pole use it with no issues, but I met two people personally who had issues one of them had 3 of them literally break to pieces and shred his motor after the 3rd one he went back to oem never to have issues again.
Maybe it was just bad luck and granted this was a little while ago so maybe it was the first batch of the ones HR made, but I'm just that guy that some scary shit like that will keep me away from something, unless it's completely unavoidable ill stick to oem.
On a side note, i agree with what you said about we all have out limits, I only ever tell people in your situation one thing and that is make the car run again before you decide to get out of it. That way you never look back and say "damn I should have fixed it" so you know you got out of the game on a positive note. Just my .02 cents
