Steel pedal inserts are intended to repair stripped threads; they don't make the pedal eye itself any stronger, if that was the nature of your failure.

If it was a pedal eye failure, I'd look to getting a top-quality forged (not "melt-forged," aka "cast") and not CNC-machined crank. Expect to spend a fair amount.

N.B. if it was a new crank that failed, have you pursued warranty replacement, as others have suggested?
