My question is if this is mentioned because it is damaging to the dual mode exhaust valve or simply letting you know to keep it off for performance/lower restriction reasons?

This is pretty important for tracks with decibel limits, particularly Laguna Seca's 92dB limit. It would be great to know we can leave it on Stealth safely so that we can focus on driving rather than staying under sound check station limits.
The 2019 Corvette owner's manual provides a little more information (p. 162):

"Do not place the vehicle in
Engine Sound Management –
Stealth mode. Damage could
result to exhaust valve actuators
."

I'd say the systems and actuators are similar enough that this probably applies to the Camaro as well and answers your question.
