I would assume these are well known concerns to the Webb team: if they are planning to begin unpacking prior to reaching L2, it must be because the forces involved with finalizing the orbit are well within the tolerances of the fully expanded craft.

They would not risk damage to the telescope if the processes involved weren't already rigorously tested and safe. There's a lot of eyes and quite a lot of money riding on this project.



Okay that doesn't really answer the question
