the flash units i.e. burn them out due to excessive power?

it'll work just fine.

Yes, provided that you don't take them to try how many full power flash a
set of Ni-MH battery can give you. I damaged a T32 (ten years ago) after 54
cycles of consecutive full power discharge even with the old Ni-cd.
