Or if it is a high stress mechanism, should I try to use the hex shaft adapter method instead?
The pinion itself should have no issue, we have some pinions on our 2012 robot... That look brand new. The gears on the VP are different from the WCP gears. They are used in different applications all together. So its not an apples to apples comparison.

We will have stock of all of the 32dp gears and belt pinions sometime next week.
