Potentially, if the damper breaks, the chain could slack up and slip or break as well. These are interference engines and that means the piston could come up and meat a still open exhaust or intake valve. Now you need to pull the heads and possibly need a new bottom end.
Depending on the mileage of your new engine, you might want to do it since it'd be easy with the engine out.
