I seriously doubt that the CVT could be damaged by towing.
I thought the concern was about having the hitch mount points in the same area as the hybrid battery, which could cause problems in a collision.
CVTs do fail when a bearing fails or when the CVT oil was either changed with the wrong type or not at all.
Maybe accelerating uphill at WOT with a heavy load can damage it?
If you avoid using full throttle at low speeds (which puts most stress on the belt and pulleys) you're good.
