Well, the stroker kits out there do include forged cranks and rods, so while the stroke is longer you at the same time do beef up your internals significantly.
Not to say that I think it's a good idea, but it's not going to blow up either. Rod ratio is extremely overblown as far as how much people worry about it.

An NA 2.2 B18B? I bet you would pour every dollar imaginable into that motor only to have it not perform to your expectations and get owned by a stock b18B with a decent turbo setup.
Go turbo. If you want NA, get a GSR/ITR or B20 and go to work on it.
