I have used maybe a dozen ESP-01s and several ESP-12's and never had any do this.
I did fry a couple of them but it was through my own mistake
Good luck,
John

That is not a good practice on "undetermined I/O state", it is only good and it is "known Input Only".
It's guaranteed that RESET and CHIP_EN pins are inputs when the ESP8266 is first powered up, so as long as the user code doesn't ever make them outputs, shorting them to high shouldn't cause a problem.
