'creamy' like life itself NOTHING is guaranteed & as with all things mechanical there is & will always be the unknown so the rule makers do their best to have us safe & have to draw that line in the sand somewhere, it can't be open slather just because someone says but my engine is now 3000 hrs old 'cause the next engine could blow up at 220 hrs since new. Now whether that level of safety is adequate for any one individual is subjective & if you (you as in anyone) hops into a plane you take the risk, brand new engine or one with several hundred hrs above recommended O/Haul risk is still there.
It's all about choice at the end of the day I rarely fly in a SE plane full stop but that's my choice:-)
