Yes, it is a HUGE concern of mine. So much that I turned off XC SEO in the admin panel. What I read, because of spammer's abuse in the past, using redirects is much worse than having dynamic urls.
It is great to have the product name in the url itself, but I personally (and some SEO experts that I have spoke with) feel that using redirects to have the product's name in the url would hurt you more than the dynamic urls ever would hurt your rank.
Really if you think about it, that's what a spammers site does, redirect ALL their pages to spam. To redirect one or a few pages is one thing, but to redirect every product (hundreds of pages possibility) is something totally different!!
Some also say that GoogleBot will only follow so many redirected pages before it will stop and leave your site.
