Every material expands and contract but none worse than real wood. Tanks are fine on real wood floors, and the wood in the stands. Tanks are fine on concrete which also expands and contracts a bit. The steel for the stand expands and contracts with the temperature. Tile. You name it. In the end, you are fine so just go for it.
I think you misunderstood the concern. It isn’t for the tank/stand, it’s for the flooring.
It may buckle near the tank, or some distance away and/or be damaged not the other way around.
Again, it may not happen, but there is a risk of seam disruption in the flooring or worse as a result of the tank weight restricting movement.
