I'm on the ball as always lol
I'm just worried about the same thing too, but if you have to program it to open the boot in vagcom rather than unlock it at least that means you can turn it off in a way. Although will it not fly open as soon you do open it manully with all that stored force from the strut?
Surely there must be struts that only apply maximum force at the start of their stroke, so it only opens the boot say just over half way, then you can move it the rest of the way. If you see what I mean, that way less chance its going to go full boot into a low roof
