You'll get more problems with backwards parts, high parts, missing parts,
wrong parts... from hand insertion.
I've never heard of problems related to stressing parts with standard
clinching and areas.

I agree with Aric, I've always auto-inserted topside PTH after SMT if there
was enough auto-insertable PTH components to make sense to do it...if there
were just a handfull of parts, I would go ahead put them over on the slide
line to get stuffed along with the connectors.
The biggest issue with autoinsertion on mixed technology boards that I
normally run across is with the epoxied SMT parts getting knocked off before
wave...and that wasn't from the auto insertion machines either, any issue
along those lines would be taken care of at the time the program was
created...if the clinch was gonna hit something on the bottom, then we'd just
take that step out of the sequence, no problem. Where the components were
getting knocked off was just from the handling...
