All tanks are equipped with a safety release for the pressure and the only time when that delta in pressure can be problematic is when you go from completely cold to hot due to the higher amount of water that can fit in the tank at lower temp.

Otherwise I've never seen a house in Canada with an extension tank attached to the water heater and the water come in ice cold in the winter.
