You need to get some plastigauge and measure the actual bearing clearance.
Good oil flow and pressure is the lifeblood of the engine. Worn or scarred mains will reduce the max available oil pressure and negatively impact engine lifetime.
I agree with Tenders. Seems a shame to go this far and then not fix it.
In for a penny, in for a pound. After all, its a B.O.A.T (Break Out Another Thousand)!
