I used to work in a phone repair shop, I have no clue what that guy is talking about. Ive replaced the battery on dozens of pixels and never had the screen break on me. He most likely said that because there is always some risk of something breaking during the repair, so by stating it up front he won’t get any angry customers after the fact.

Ha! Well, that's good info to have. That makes me more confident to try replacing the battery myself with a $25 kit from Amazon. Thanks for the input!
