You're comparing lithium charging in a Electric Vehicle to charging lithium in an rv system.
In the rv world we are working in fractional 'C'. My system is not large by any means and at best if I felt like using the generator while the sun was out producing it's max, the best I could charge at would be 175-200a which would be .35c-.4c on 500ah batteries.
If using just the generator and inverter/ charger that's 100-125a or .2c-.25c, max solar 80a or .16c. None of those rates will harm lfp by any means and at such a fractional 'c'.
I'm sure there is someone out with an rv the have the ability to push higher amounts but imho it's not the norm.
The cell temp increase while charging at the above stated 'c' rates is very minimal. I can see the cell temps on all 20 cells in my batteries.
