This is not a real issue on F1 engines as they run 3000km?, not 300.000km which is normal for a street car.
Of course diesel is a lubricant itself (it's an oil) so 10 times that pressure is no big deal for injectors.

The s55 runs 260 bar, but yeah injectors wearing is real especially if you run on low lubricity fuels like e85. But you can compensate with top cylinder lube.
