The stuff is designed to be burned so I doubt it will have a significant adverse effect on the valves or cylinders but afterwards I worry about the oil fouling the catalytic converters, interacting poorly. Two stroke oil is not designed to be sent through a catalytic converter and the catalytic converter is not designed to filter burning oil (at least not in significant amounts, like consistent 2 stroke oil use over the lifetime of the vehicle). Ashless oil is supposed to be safe but I haven't seen any source I trust or even a consistent source other than word of mouth.
I'm sure that there is a 95% chance that nothing bad will happen, that 5% scares me though and I don't personally think it's worth it. Just the other side of the coin for everyone talking it up.

At the ratio we are using, I doubt there will be any long term issues. Plus, during the winter, I doubt 2T will be needed.
