No problems here with two amps totaling a little over 1000 watts for almost a year. It doesn't sound like that shop works on Teslas. I would find another shop with more experience. I got quotes from two shops and neither of them batted an eye at them, but both had worked on several Teslas before.
Tesla didn't mention anything to me when I had my MCU replaced this summer, though that's hardly a DC/DC inverter problem.
Keep in mind that amps are VERY rarely used at 100% duty cycle. That's driving a load of pink noise into clipping. Most of the time an amp is at 1/8 duty cycle, so ~150W overall with bursts for music with lots of bass.
I'm not an old timer around here but the DC-DC converter doesn't seem like a popular failure point with aftermarket stereos. That said, that thread seems pretty damning for modifications.
