Nope - none.
However, slamming gears, short shifter or not will cause damages you describe. One of the things you teach a new track student (once you let them begin shifting - LOL) is to be exaggerated and extra gentle w/ the shifter. Mostly from a physics perspective. Regardless, it's a much harder task with all the adrenaline and trying to drink through a fire hose...
Good luck
