De Buyer CS 30cm pancake (crepes) pan on BORA induction

I would like to buy the large 30cm pancake pan so I can prepare 3 (maybe 4 small) pancakes at the same time. I have the same Bora induction, and as you can see from the picture the size of the burner is 21 cm, while the induction base diameter of the 30cm is 25.5.
I know on induction the heating area is not exactly the one you can see, but let's say it is 21cm, the pan will not be directly heaten on 2.25cm if you place it in the precise center. Is 2.25 - 2.5 cm enough to bend a pan if heaten too much or too quickly? If I heat it slowly and never too much am I sure it will never bend?
Additional info, since I read some interest in the other thread: the downdraft exhausts works great, but the filter has to be changed quite often and the only one that fits perfectly (and so guarantee 100% efficiency) is the original BORA, 80 euros. I tried cheaper versions: if they are even few mm less than the original one, it will be like using it without filter.
