I've never seen a plastic cap chip. Even if it did, its plastic. The only harm it can do is clog the oil intake screen. It would take a lot of oil cap chips to do that.
What if the aftermarket cast aluminum cap chips (or even just induces wear particles from metal to metal abrasion)?

There can be a benefit.
This almost ended my day until I found out my umbrella pipe cap fit into the oil filler hole with the help of a hammer. Separated on track and sprayed oil everywhere.
Obviously the cap was cracked prior and it eventually fatigued to failure over time, but it is worth checking every now and then.
