Not sure the validity of it, but I always heard that the OD towing thing had to do with heat mostly. That many times the trans would constantly be shifting in and out of OD and also locking and unlocking the converter. This causes a lot of heat/wear etc and can cause the trans to fail.
I also heard that the stock converter wasn’t strong enough to hold the load while locked and would slip.
That would make me think that if you had enough power to stay in OD without crazy shifting and maybe an upgraded converter you could tow in OD without damaging things.
Of course, this is just what I have heard others say so it may be accurate or may not be.
