Mercedes and Semi Air Suspension

[Barr_Beacon]

Hi Everyone,
This is my first post - I don't own a motorhome yet but have been looking for a while.
I've been looking at a used 2021 Burstner Lyseo on the Mercedes chassis (rear wheel drive). It has the semi air suspension fitted (with Dunlop controls in the cab).
On investigating air suspension, I've seen a U-Tube post saying that it may cause cracking of the chassis (because the Mercedes has a "unibody" chassis, not a "body on frame" type chassis).
Should I be concerned about this? Does anyone on this forum have air suspension fitted to the latest Mercedes chassis?
Thanks for your help in advance!
