Is the measly cost savings reeeallllyyy worth risking your engine over?

I wouldn't run a cast core roller even at gunpoint. I'd run a flat tappet first, by a long shot.

When it comes to a roller, in my book: Billet core, iron gear pressed on, slide it in, measure & degree it and rock & roll.

Just my $0.02 worth.
