        Wow! He sure dazzled me with that one!  It seem's to me that as
the pressure plate wears it would get easier to press not harder. The few
WBX thrust bearings I have seen have been real beefy, even the used ones
did not have significant wear.
        If it were me I would get a second opinion, preferably from a
mech who doesn't own a boat.

against the driveshaft which is held in place inside the engine block
with a half moon.  This spot is not particularly strong, so the more
pressure that is placed on it, the more likely it is to give out. and
wreck all sorts of havoc in the engine.
