Anything structural, we would not use a helicoil at all.

I used a Helicoil for a crank cap on a Vega motor (in my Monza). I put
50,000 miles on it after that, no problems.

Absolutely. If a helicoil can stand up to 10:1 compression ratios or
greater, it can stand up to about anything "structural". I'll bet the
coil insert is about as good capacity wise as the tensile strength of
the bolt it's holding.
