This hump is necessary because of the larger Grendel rim diameter. Anyway, extractors sometimes break for various reasons. The claw will typically rip off at the extractor groove juncture. Nature of the beast — and it's good to have a spare whether you're 5.56 or Grendel.
I received these in the mail yesterday. Just as you say, these have reinforcements rather than scallops. I have high confidence in them.

Funny thing though, I had a bear of a time getting the extractor spring to snap in place. I guess BRA makes their holes a little tighter than some others.
