Seems like it could handle the tension.
Just wait till it falls out. Used to use them on tallbikes, they never really worked properly. Wouldn't trust my life to an old ghetto-rigged chainring these days. Address the issue at hand, don't try to put band-aids on it. Get a half-link/eno/find magic ratio.
