It's difficult to come up with a theory as to how the exposed lead on the tip of a softpoint bullet could possibly cause leading. At worst, it might create markings on AR barrel extension ramps as the round is stripped from the magazine and is guided into the chamber.
I suppose there is the possibility that in a supersonic load, there might be enough energy in the gases while the bullet is in the blast region of the suppressor, but most suppressor designs attempt to prevent the muzzle blast from affecting bullet flight as a part of retaining accuracy, so even that sounds like a serious stretch for a modern suppressor.
I suspect that AAC may be issuing an overly cautious warning based on problems with hard cast projectiles, but I think you're pretty safe with softpoints.
