Easy....
Using a TI or any other auto-tuner the same set of risks are a fact.
Same for manual one!
You have a IC705, use that to match the antenna if needed while employing
the T1 autotuner.? Then without changing the T1 remove the 705 and
connect the QMX to a known now matched antenna.
My prefered:
For harmonic bands like 40/20/15/10 I use a endfed HW that is already
tuned and no need then for a TI or other matching unit.? Mine on those
bands has a SWR under 1.3:1, more than good enough.
When a tuner is needed I use? manual matching unit with a
Tenna-tuner (Qrpkits) to dial in it, MFJ259B or similar.? Then
connect the QRP radio.? Extra steps but far quicker than
blowing the finals and replacing them.
