Different platform but my old E70 X5 had a drivetrain fault once and it automatically disabled traction control and defaulted to RWD. I think under normal driving conditions no damage will occur because everything is still spinning as it normally would just the clutch not being coupled. I think the only time "wear" from heat would occur is when the rear wheels are spinning and the front isnt for prolonged periods. such as dyno pulls. The creators do say if you are using it on a dyno to give the car a break between pulls to cool the transfer case.
