True that "chunks" of scale may dislodge. True that they may clog small passages (e.g. radiator), but only temporarily as they too will dissolve. No way will they damage the waterpump.
We're talking about flakes of carbonate deposits in a rapidly circulating hot acidic environment. They won't last long, nor do they have the structural integrity to jam the waterpump.

What about the deposits prior to 80 degrees C? Have you performed this before? I have seen some bad results before. Maybe the thing to do, would be to boil the water first and then add it to the car HOT.
