It's not really an issue if you are somewhat careful. Don't slam the pan onto the glass, don't scratch it across and don't instant-heat the pan on full power (it can damage the pan).

If you want to be extra careful you can even put a thin piece of heat-proof fabric between the induction stove and the pan. Since induction heats the pan and not the stove top, that won't hurt the heat transmission.
