Default Bronze pilot bushing for TKO 600

I was reading in my TKO transmission installation manual many months after I put my engine in my car and the book says : We don NOT recommend using a roller type pilot bearing,as the rollers are harder material than the input, and
can damage the pilot surface of the shaft. OOPS ! Read the instructions for once lol......Redneck Charly told me : "Yeah it will eat into your output shaft in about a 100,000 plus miles". I know a lot of Fords came OEM with the roller
bearing pilots.....So here is the question , Should I pull the tranny and install a bronze pilot bushing and ditch the late model roller bearing ?
