I know this is an article on aircraft engines but some of the same rules apply. A lower static CR will increase one's safety margin and reduce the chance of severe detonation.

When detonation does occur, it can damage wrist pins.

"Detonation can also overload the pistons, rings,
wrist pin bushings, and rod bearings."
