Though my rig does have auto levelers, I am, by no means, an expert. That said, I would think that the major companies that manufacture levelers and the RV manufacturers that install them as an option to their brand new units, might, if there were significant concerns in this area, addressed them or at least the RV mfrs might not promote levelers. If I was of the mind that the various mfrs might not tell me the truth, the whole truth etc. and instead lie about this, I might also think that the used RV salesman who might not have a used unit in stock with auto levelers, might pass on a negative opinion he heard from his great aunt.
Anecdotally, this forum is a very active one and it seems that every negative aspect of anything RV related is dissected here. In the years I've followed the forum, I don't remember any posts from someone alleging this issue nor do I remember any of the usually numerous "me too" posts.
Finally, to my elderly mind, a potentially bigger culprit in twisting a frame might be slides that are extended when a rig is not level adding stress to the suspension and, possibly, frame. JMO
