This was the whole statement from the beginning. The original question was will it cause harm with "extended" use. Not will it cause harm.

Now there are two posters who seem not to understand how different a Torsen is.
Clutch type LSD react only to wheel speed, that's how they engage. Torsen do not react to wheelspeed, ever, not in any way.
Torsen do not wear when biasing torque although it is tempting to think that they must due to the internal friction. Friction reduces wear if of it is static friction, which it generally is inside a Torsen. Only sliding friction causes wear and there is very little of that when a Torsen is biasing torque and not very much when it is differentiating.
But, I concede it is difficult to understand how this ingenious device actually works. Thinking it gives progressive limited slip is the biggest misconception and affects how you drive these cars. You either know, or you don't.
