Default Non-Selectable Lockers on 2012+ Auto JK & Limp Mode

I'm looking at getting a set of Lock Right lockers but there's some buzz on the Internet about non-selectable lockers putting 2012+ Wranglers with automatic transmissions into limp mode due to the wheel speed sensors and traction control.
Is there anyone out there has has a first/second hand account of mechanical lockers (lunchbox, aussie, detroit, etc...) either working or not working on a 2012+ Auto JK?

I've already read through that entire thread. While it is one of the confirmed cases, it's the only one I can really find. I don't want to base my decision on a single install where something else may have gone wrong. I've been in contact with someone who's running a Lock Right in the front of a 2012 Auto with no issues. Just trying to compile a larger sample. The reason I'm skeptical about issues is that when turning the locker unlocks, so the wheel speed should be no different than running an open carrier. I don't see why a functioning one would trip up the computer.

Truetracs are actually limited slips.
