I haven't seen any proof that the recall will actually get in the way of smogging. Hopefully you install a CARB SC. I think the valve spring failures are very rare, rarer than failed engines after the recall. I did get the recall, which helped stop a bunch of oil leaks, but I have to deal with the anxiety of whether or not the car will go kaboom. I haven't changed the oil yet, and I'm only 1500 miles in, or so. I'm going to change oil in a few months, with a fine screen to capture any gunk in the oil. I'll also video it. Then I'll send it off to Blackstone or the like for a test that will measure, among other things, silicone.
That said, I run her hard and good, and she does just fine.
