Maybe this stabiliser bar isn't made of such fragile steel, but I'm not the one that will be taking the chance.

My thought was that the tip being thinner would break off first; even with the cut there is still more metal on that section of the bar than at the tip and because it is close to the tip would be subjected to a similar stress.
If that same cut was down there next to the the 90 degree bend I would be worried.
