That's consistent with discussions and information from other
suppliers of various types and configurations of coupling systems....
Heat is caused by slip.  Lock the device up and you don't have the
heat issue.

 (Assuming the method of creating coupling force doesn't then cause a
problem, IE needing to constantly power an e-motor to force the
coupling)

You could get into heat problems if the potential F/R torque
difference starts to exceed the max capacity of the clutch.   e.g. ..
Locking a haldex designed for a 200hp V70 , however you have 450hp in
your V70R...
