ummm....i would have to say no, if somthing strong enough to crack the after market sleeves then those block guard isnt really going to do well.

A block guard (being aluminum vs iron) won't prevent any high-rpm deformation. Likewise, the ductile iron won't be moving sideways unless you're maxed out on bore & you pass 10k with a stroker crank.
Regardless, block guards have been used in motors that have still cracked the sleeves. They've shown to be little to no help.

ERL Superdeck 1, my motor, ductile sleeves with a block guard. works fine for me.
from ERL Performance:
Description: The SUPERDECK I system replaces the stock cast iron sleeves, with Darton Ductile Iron sleeves and strengthens the block with a fully machined billet aluminum deck support. The SUPERDECK I offers the cooling capacity of a stock engine (open deck block) with the strength of a racing engine (closed deck block).
