Is there evidence that this change makes it less robust? I see a stiffer crankshaft swinging less mass at the rod ends. The smaller diameter also results in lower speed between bearing and journal but that probably wasn't the main goal. I'm sure the decision to give up some bearing surface for a stiffer crank involved considerable R&D.
