They can deal with it.
This is well specified in the datasheet of the transceivers:
https://resource.fs.com/mall/resource/sfp-1g34-bx10-datasheet-20251208090113.pdf
Average Output Power POUT: -9 to -3 dBm
Input Saturation Power P(SAT): -3 dBm
Receiver Damage Threshold: +3 dBm
So yeah, in other words: No problem, even a direct no-loss 10cm link would be (barely) in spec.

@manawyrm @ann3nova neat, I wasn't quite sure how close you can get to the saturating power, but I guess I could've just assumed that it'd be fine since they specced it to fit barely for zero-loss (which you wouldn't really get anyways). Thanks ^^
