The crank and pulley fusing together doesn't cause motor failure either. Now a lightweight crank failing, I have seen on this motor.

" The stock crank pulley is not a harmonic balancer or damper ", really ?? Think VERY hard again. Take one out of your car and inspect VERY carefully of its construction and consult the automotive engine design engineers if you are still in doubt.
For engine that have internal balance shaft, you do not need a harmonic balancer. But for most motors out there without internal balance shafts, everyone of them come with crank harmonic balancers.
