What brand of hardware?
There are bumpers for use in the pocket to soften up the hammering.
If you have doubles are they linked?
There is usually enough drag from the linkage cables to eliminate most of the real slamming.

I'd try the regular blumotion pistons.

A full drawer of pots and pans may not be as heavy or as forcefully closed as a pocket door, it's still not exactly light. You might even use one at the top, one at the bottom.

If memory serves, there are models with round housings that are installed by simply drilling a hole. and slipping it in.

Would only cost a few bucks to try.

"A full drawer of pots and pans may not be as heavy or as forcefully closed as a pocket door, it's still not exactly light."

If you have good pocket door hardware like Johnson they roll pretty easily and doors are not exactly lightweight.

It might work in the back of the pocket, but is not going to help much when closing the door.
It would have to stick pout of the door or the jamb to work and would look ugly poking out and catch things.
You might be able to hide one at the top of the door concealed by the trim, but remember that unlike drawers that can be made to self retract for the last few inches, or cabinet doors that are spring loaded to close, there is nothing moving a pocket door except you.
