Bar and plate intercoolers are extremely strong and durable. We have not had a single failure of a bar and plate intercooler.

On the 370Z we have gone straight for the bar and plate rather than trying a tube and fin first.

I will elaborate on the differences between bar and plate and tube and fin in another post. To put it bluntly, it is pretty much impossible to damage a bar and plate intercooler without some SERIOUS intent.
