I can see the point, and I have thought about doing it.
The main issue with this engine is the rod bearings (well, maybe the oiling issue at high revs is more critical, or at least related). The Clevite 77 rod bearings are a big upgrade durability wise. The mains don't give much trouble on this engine.
The point is that the task is a bit tricky and if you don't do it right you will have rod bearing and crank problems.
If you are skilled at this proceedure or have a technician that is, you should be fine. If not, it is a bit risky.
