Default stock pushrods
What's the downside of using stock pushrods on a big cam only car?

Are you kidding ???

just to give you an idea, bent p-rods, bent valves, worn guides... Basically a pulverised valvetrain.

I have not tried that, just wondering since JMX's guide says some have reused the stock with good results

how about you use hardened pushrods, don't bend them, and make sure your cam fits!!! that and don't mis-shift while hairlining the rev-limiter.
