Yes super low profile can be detrimental for impact protection, but it's simply not an issue on say 45 series or higher tires unles you go around taggin curbs at high speed.
Have 2 cars with 35 and 40 series tires. One of which had a couple bent rims when we bought it. Had the rims straightened and was a bit concerned about what you're saying, but almos 100k daily driven miles later, rims are still true.
I have one a 2016 GMC 1500 SLT (and my Camaro which doesn't count at least to me). I have not had an issue, probably because it is my wife's and doesn't leave pavement. I just look at the low profile and know that it could be an issue. It is likely just my view on it, but I would not have such a low profile tire on a pickup that left the asphalt. Even camping, we do primarily dispersed camping, that means forest service roads, I just don't like the rim so close to the road.
