I've never used it but my understanding is it was specifically
developed for use on coated lens. Many lens repairmen recommend it.

THAT in itself should tell you something (good for business?). If you're
really curious, get a real cheap broken lens on eBay and try it to see if it
destroys the coating (since even excessive cleaning does, I suspect this
would do it in really fast).

I said I have never used this ROR. I've used it for cleaning my
glasses for about a year now with good results but never tried it on a
lens till today.

I have a 50mm lens I seldom use so I used a bit of ROR on it today and
the lens is notably cleaner and clearer when compared to other lens
cleaned with lens cleaner and a microfiber cloth.

As long as this stuff has been on the market, I doubt it will damage
coated lens. Otherwise it would have been disclosed by now.
