No need to withdraw. You're correct in that it's difficult to weld compared to regular iron stuff. It seems to depend on the experience of the welder.
Many years ago, I had an engine throw a rod and put a small hole on the side of the block. I had it welded and you could see hairline cracks around the edges of the weld. It held, but oozed a tiny bit of oil from the cracks.
