Saddle Height Concern

I recently had my 2008 D1 Custom set up to correct low action and fret-outs on the high E and B strings above the 5th fret. The set up was performed by adjusting the neck relief and raising the saddle height by adding a shim. The top of the saddle now extends 6/32” above the top of the bridge, increasing the string angle over the saddle and presumably the string pressure on the bridge’s saddle slot. Is there any concern that the bridge may crack due to the increased pressure?
