3 dimmers on wall plate: too warm?

XP from lighting:

We're almost at the end of our kitchen/pantry remodel. It's incredible how nice it looks with layers of light.
I reminded them dimming being part of the re-model contract, and was told that dimmers generate heat. Not enough to be a fire hazard apparently. Our DR Lutron dimmer doesn't seem warm at all.

The new kitchen has a three switch control box per their design: one controls the WAC LV xenon in-glass cabinets, one switch the overhead recessed HALO LED lighting, and the last the Unilume LED under cabinet lighting.

Do you see a problem here with three dimmers in one plate? Any danger? I'd like to have these circuits on Lutron or Levitron dimmers.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
