Pans will also warp if you’re using the wrong sized element for them.

I didn't know this, but with how the induction works via EMF, it kinda makes sense.
I agree that cast iron or enameled cast iron on induction feels a little concerning at times, but the glass is pretty strong. I think it's because it's not perfectly smooth like a carbon steel, stainless steel or garden variety non-stick. It makes an almost grating sanding noise on the glass.
I've never broken any induction top ever for the 3-4 tops I've regularly used cast iron and enameled cast iron on. TBH, I'm not even sure I've put in much in terms of scuffs... minus the time I somehow left serious scratch marks after scrubbing a top using stove top cleaner. I still wonder if the chemical contributed to some type of chemical etching of the glass.
Now I realize all of that is stupid. The best way to clean an induction stovetop IMO is a flexible metal putty knife then wipe it down with some dish soap.
