FWIW- My 29-5 posted above is 18 years old, with zero peening of the bolt notches. Very few shoot a big bore (especially with full power magnum rounds) double action rapidly, if ever.
The added mass reduces inertial forces on smaller parts far more than the revolving "extra mass" damages them, extending gun life.
