Not sure how a rim gets ready to bend into an S.
Don't doubt your shop never had a problem. I do still hang one bike by J hooks in the ceiling, actually in a contraption that lets me pull it up into my garage rafters. But that is a single J hook on each wheel that lets the wheel pivot and swing from a single point of contact on each rim
The ones I strongly suggest not using are the ones that hook to the wheel with the bottom on the tire resting on the wall. With the rim held fast like that any side load will torque the rim and bend it.
