The stock Allison wont as you put it, spontaneously conbust.But yes depending on year ,you can do irreversible damage if abused.
But a simple tow type tune to retain OD while towing has proven to be the most safe way of enjoying the Allison stock.
I say year because GM has done it's best to refine the commercial qualitys of the Allison,the later years taking less abuse.

Super Diesel (I think!) had a built tranny that would last just a couple 1/4 mile races before it would blow. So Yes you can have to much power for the tranny.
A stock tranny will hold somewhere from a low of about 65 extra rear wheel horsepower, to as much as about 150 extra. (This depends on the year, and the tranny itself)
