Ive swapped a few used (matched lifters to lobe) cams from motor to motor. Never gave it much thought, nor ever had a problem.
But, how many people have mashed a lobe soon after swapping?

Over the last 40 years I have ran all solid lifter cams in my engines, new ones and used. Some new wiped out soon after the swap with new lifters , never had a used one wipe out. I have bought used cams that the seller said the lifters were in order, don't know if they were, I have also used used lifers from another cam and didn't have a problem. Luck, just luck. Next engine going roller, no oil additive to worry about.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
