In my opinion, yeah, I would have exactly the same concern about heat and wear with any helix-type, be it "Torsen" or other, being continuously operated with different output speeds.

I can't say at exactly what speed or what distance heat or wear would become a serious problem, but whatever type of limited slip I would never run different diameter tires on the drive end of the car.
