Whether you have "issues" or not is 100% up to you. The driver of the tow vehicle. Yes, with a short bed truck it is possible to make contact but it will not do it by itself. You, the driver must put it in a situation to do it. You, the driver can also keep it out of situations where it will make contact.

I know many who have used short beds for a lifetime without issues. I know of others who busted out their back glass within 6 months of ownership.

To be worry free there are two options. A long bed truck or an auto slider hitch. Some say the Anderson and Pullrite A frame type hitches also give more room between front cap and cab but I have no first hand experience.
