The hunched shouldered thing was highlighted during my cyclefit session. The issue that it caused for me was:
Tight hamstrings - relying too much on the hamstrings for power
Fitness plateau - Not using my core enough
Wasted energy
Not necessarily damaged (besides the chronically bad hamstrings) but the cycle fit did transform my riding - more power now, stronger legs and generally fitter core.
As a result I really enjoy riding a lot more. So it was worth it for me.
