You don't have to cinch them down super tight. Just snug so that the rear of the boat doesn't bounce if you do hit a pot hole or have to make an evasive maneuver. I'd rather have my swim platform take any damage than let my hull bounce around on the bunks.
After taking the tour of the plant this week and seeing the material that is used under the swim platform I have no worries. The transom is also heavily reinforced where anything mounts to it.
