During autonomous I don't think anybody will shift gears, and even during teleop shifting occurs in a fraction of a second.
You bring up a good point about switching tubes (those rookies...) but I would think that would get cleared up relatively fast. Also if one ran their auton in high gear that would mitigate any damage.
