Cobalt, don't be afraid.
I'm telling you guys, I have been doing this and using them for years like it. They have a limit, but even for my thinned FBMLE it was very thin for such a huge heavy knife. You have to remember how much weight is behind the edge on a FBMLE. When I got damage it was my 225lbs chopping almost all the way through a 2x4 in one chop. What got the edge to bend laterally were the nots. Rock hard nots. Minimal lateral bending. I have put that FBMLE through hell.
There is a review for you guys.

No problem there. I have never been afraid of hitting the edge my way. I know you can take the old infi to 11 degrees each side no problem. The newer lower Rc stuff should be fine at 15 per side.
