If their was an issue we'd not be even having this conversation. Remember over TWENTY THOUSAND of the ceramic hybrid bearings have been installed worldwide. If any issues existed it would have gone viral in 2008, but it didn't, because, that didn't happen. The very first IMSR that was carried out used a ceramic ball bearing just like LN sells today. That engine is alive almost a decade after retrofit, and still has the original retrofit bearing.
The vast majority of ceramic bearings are hybrid, with silicon nitride balls, and specially treated steel races, just like this. This includes those used in aviation/ aerospace and every other application out there.
Those who want to omit all the wear parts step up the the IMS Solution.
