Build of materials.... not all "plastic" is created equally.
To the OP:
Why would you think that there would some kind of issue with what you did. And if there was, would it matter now? You already did it. Kinda late to ask if there might be problems with doing it isn't it?
You improved it. At least your bushing issues anyway. It will hold until you wear the shaft that rides in them out, or the bushing fails from not being a press fit.
I still have no desire at all for a 3K machine. The reasons you state is just one of several. I'll keep my old iron machines with actual bearings and metal hoods.
