With a wood prop and at idle, its a minor problem. At WOT and a carbon fiber prop a much bigger problem.
Most prop strikes don't bend the crank, but twist it around the crank pin.
Zenoahs are the easiest to damage, the BME in in the middle. A Fox or Brison are almost impossible to damage with a prop strike, cantilevered cranks.
