I've found that it mainly depends on the bullet shame. A girlfriend had two Kimber ProCarry .45s. With RN or lead bullets there was never a problem or any indication of wear. Once she started shooting a lot of jacketed HPs dings did start appearing on the feed ramps.
She had both polished out and the frames hard chromed...end of problem.
I have 5 Commanders in .38 Super. Three have hard chromed frames, one is a Colt factory nickel/Teflon and the last a 1952 that was my daily carry gun for 27 years. The ramp on that one is a little worn as it has 7K+ rounds through it and a lot of them were jacketed HPs...
So yes, it can be a problem...Bob
