I've not observed my phones getting noticably warmer with wireless charging compared to regular wired charging. Since heat is the enemy of current gen lithium batteries, it is far more likely that "fast charging" at the max supported rate is significantly worse for the lifespan than a slower, lower current charge session. One advantage of wireless over wired charging is that wireless doesn't cause wear and tear on the wired connection port socket.

This is why I still use my old 1A or less USB ports and crummy cables with thin wires. I usually don’t care about charging speed. I like how Apple can now do “optimized” slow charging from 80% on-ward but would be nice if I could just tell it to go slow in general.
