Mugen B-series head gasket

I have a OBD-I JDM B18C GSR stock engine in a 92 EG hatch.

I am planning on taking off the head to port and polish it. I am also installing ITR cams, valve springs, retainers, and a Mugen head gasket.

My questions are, will the Mugen head gasket cause the stock GSR valves to contact the pistons, and how reliable is a Mugen head gasket for a daily driver?

A normal OEM headgasket is 3-layers. The Mugen headgasket is metal, and is only 2-layers and bumps the compression slightly. Its perfectly fine and reliable, I have one in my ITR motor currently.
