Elevated discharge rates (C-rate) are one of the many factors that induce cell stress. This is not really a factor for most people, as most of us don't have an environment in which extended, rapid discharging is possible. But if someone were doing lots of track days, or spending lots of hours driving at high speeds, or regularly enjoying acceleration launches, then the extra power made available via AB (and, hence, the extra discharge rate) could be a factor. Conversely, a car driven in Chill mode over its lifetime is likely to see better battery health, all else being equal.
The bottom line is that the way you drive your EV will dictate how your battery pack is affected, not the amount of latent power your drivetrain possesses.
