I think that is a good point, though I never worried about it on my NDK boats.
I am doing my first Maroske's and have done the trials on scrap and destructive testing.
One thing that I have to do is make sure the hole is slightly oversized and epoxied as a first step. Then redrill and set the Maroske glue stick tube etc.
Very concerned about how they will hold up over time with water at the edges of the wood hole. They will look crappy if you start getting black stains after a few years. Just a small extra step that is needed imho.
