Quite possible, the pickups need to be very close to the flywheel (0.4mm IIRC) to get a strong/consistent reading so any variation wouldn't help.

Hopefully all will be well, I only mentioned it because it can be a big deal, mainly on Desmoquattro models IIRC? In fact, Ducati recommend checking the flywheel torque as a service thing and there are numerous fixes, including higher torque settings, strong Loctite and even double nuts to jam one against the other.

But I think you'd know if there was significant damage as there would be play in the crankshaft both visible and audible.
