Worried about Denon 103R high tracking force on LP

The Denon 103R is a low compliance cartridge and, hence, it has a relatively high VTF of 2.2 to 2.8 grams. Will this prematurely wear out my vinyl?

Note: I have a VPI TNT JR & VPI 12.5 JMW tonearm.

I am a novice on this stuff and need some help.

I was attempting to sell my brand new Denon 103R because I was concerned about my vinyl. However, with your assurances, I installed it and it is an absolute delight.

It is not even broken in, yet listening to the fullness of the instruments and the sonic resonance of the amphitheater, the Denon seems to trace every nook and cranny in the grooves.

Thank you for your in depth explanations.
