I didnt know you could get OEM pistons in .030 over. Last I saw you can get .025 and .050... Then again... it's been a while.
Why would you get JE Rings and OEM pistons?
Yes the setup would be fine.
Go with an ITR oil and water pump if you can. At least do the same of both.

Im not sure I fully understand valve jobs... But If I do understand correctly, where they modify the head on the valve, I dont see why it wouldn't be safe on a ported or non-ported head? How does a valve job interact with a ported head? What wouldn't be safe about it?

If a setup is built properly to spec, it will last as long as the driver wants it to.
Most motors going to shit is due to drivers missing gears & over revving their motors etc.
Also, another reason a lot of motors go to shit, is just due to lack of maintnence such as checking oil levels etc.
