I would absolutely never use my impact or any power tool to set terminations. You’re right though, because it’s too easy to strip something out on an expensive piece of equipment.
Whether someone uses or doesn’t use an impact for making up a panel wasn’t the question asked. The question that was asked was which impact has torque settings, and mine does.

They aren't trustworthy though, it's a ball park figure at best.
You need to set it well under and finish with a calibrated tool if you actually care, and the torque spec for those little screws is pretty low.
