"Disaster" a little melodramatic. It's just a 25$ belt.

I know our engines are internally balance so the crank pulley does not act as a harmonic balancer but still, if there is a wobble or inbalance in the pulley, you run the risk of shorting the life of the engine or at the least cause an oil leak from the main seal. In the worse case i can imagine, the pulley cracks under a high load and the engine is fudged on the spot. 
If I had to cut these grooves, Id at least take it to be balanced by a mahcinist.

IMO the only thing really at stake would be possibly the vortech itself getting messed up from the pulley not being balanced.
I don't think it's quite as critical as the crank pulley since the SC pulley doesn't have a crankshaft, 6 pistons/rods, 2 cams, 24 valves connected directly or indirectly to it

If the belt breaks , its not a disaster . You just loose power steering , and the Alt. will not be charging . Its happened to me ! Belt didnt break , but the adj. pulley fell off . So belt wasnt turning
