If that roller bearing seizes it would shurly ruin the end of the input shaft. The bronze bushing is only moving at a different speed from the transmission input shaft when the clutchis being released. That should be short periods like changing gears and sitting at a stop sign or so-on. If I encounter a stop light at the begining I shift into neutral and let the clutch out more so to releive the throw out bearing.
