The vibration flying it for 100 NM would 100% been atrocious! I had a chunk of ice come off a seneca once when the three cables to the anti ice sheared and I was left with no anti ice on the one side.

It was 1 in a million but the ice chunk was thrown forward and came back hitting the three blade counter rotating prop on the other side very slightly bending the tip.

The vibration to landing was noticeable although not severe. This would be something else.

A friend flew with a bent prop and the vibration damaged the sensitive electronics causing no end of avionic problems ahead
