At first the OP mentioned that compression ratio, but later mentioned that could go higher than that. But anyway, considering that such ratio is more frequently seen either in smaller-displacement engines which combustion chamber volume is inherently less sensitive to pre-ignition or in modern direct-injection engines, water injection is still not a bad idea at all.
