It would entirely depend on how heavy your right foot is. If you are just creeping about solo and unloaded on gentle grass pasture then yes it is going to put some extra strain on the transmission but you should be fine, if you are raching about loaded up or with a trailer on the back and are constantly giving it beans through a heavy plough soil then yeah all sorts of things will get broken like cv joints, transfer boxes, half shafts all sorts of carnage.

Is the likelihood of damage due to the increased weight/surface area/increased traction?
For the most part it is just driving through damp/wet fields to check on stock, in summer we tow a 300l bowser and carrying about fencing materials to remote locations.
Have to be heavy footed with the odd gateway that the tractor has messed up but certainly far from gung ho.
More than anything just wanting to lower ground pressure.
Sounds a lot like what I do with mine save for I don't go on the land between November ish and March ish so I use the standard bridgestone tyres to good effect.
The thing that destroys components is when the wheels spin and then when they find traction suddenly it's the shock loading that snaps things. Big meaty tyres will reduce the initial risk of slipping over a road or all terrain but that is off set by the severity with which they grab if they do spin.
