Great 
. I think you should be OK for Viburnum.
Here are some photos of what you would look for if the beetle does get to them. It's pretty obvious to see. Mine got too far because I missed the onset of the attack. My garden is quite large and that particular Viburnum is a bit out of the way of my normal movements as the plants look after themselves quite well. It only gets a close look when I go to cut those plants. The rest of the time I'm near it is when I walk past mowing, and then my head is down looking at the ground.
As this was in the April I had only glanced at it and thought it may have been wind burn over winter as it faces north and open fields.
So I checked the others and found a smaller attack on another one.
By the summer, after some judicious pruning and spraying, they were back to good health again.
