Campag give the same warning about their road hubs, but I had a 28 spoke radial front wheel on a c. 1990 campag hub, and it was fine for years. When it did go (in about 1999) it was crack in the flange around one of the spoke holes, so I think you have to accept that risk when you build radial. I would guess that with a 32 hole high flange, you'll be fine for ages (as long as you're not too porky!)
