Default Successfully making power with a CUT crank

I've read all the old posts about the factory nitriding and how a cut crank can lose it's hardness. But as the title says has anyone successfully made 600+ hp using a cut crank 10/10 over?

Only reason I am considering this option is the stock short block we picked up already has a cut GSR crank in it. It was a running block before tear down. The replacement oversized bearings didn't show any abnormal wear, so I'm not overly concerned about a warped crank or even a bad cut job.

I am aware of the oil wedge between the bearing and journal surfaces during operation, so in my mind the journal hardness shouldn't be an issues unless the bearings are dry upon cold starts. But a properly clearanced engine shouldn't have these types of issues.

Any and all advice is appreciated.
