I used to own a glass ceramic cooktop and I also used a Dutch oven. I
wouldn't see any type of problem unless you accidentally dropped a very
heavy Dutch oven on the cooktop.

When I still lived in the house with the glass ceramic cooktop (now
currently live where we have natural gas) I used an 8 qt. Dutch oven
regularly with no problem.
