If you’re not going to run a lot of 357 ammo through it why worry about it? Find a nice gun, shoot it with 38’s or lighter 357’s and enjoy it.
I don’t think there is any definite answer to why forcing cones crack. It seems some do...some don’t. The only one I’ve seen with my own eyes was on a Model 15, 38 Special of all things. A 15-8 IIRC so it was a fairly recent gun. I wish I’d taken a picture of it.
On the other hand my 19-9 is one of my favorite guns.
