I am not buying that DCT kick down has any real effect on the timing chain sprocket.
For the timing chain sprocket to slip it would need to have resistance on one end with overcoming force on the other. What part of the rotating overhead cams create enough resistance to over come a to pressure applied by the bolt when under power.
A kickdown, upshift, or bouncing off the rev limiter should have near zero extra effect on the timing chain pressure. The same pressure to spin at 5000rpm should be the same if its in neutral, upshift or downshift.
