As others stated, there is sufficient information by at least some of the manufacturers.

As a classic guitar newbie, I wonder/worry about the amount of stress from the strings given that classical guitars usually don’t have a truss rod and can’t be given a neck reset.

Generally, classical guitars don't require an adjustable rod. Many are made with neck reinforcement, such as ebony strips or carbon fibre inserts. Many nylon string guitars have a neck joint that can be rest if needed. While neck resets on nylon string guitars are not unheard of, it isn't a common repair.

Am I unnecessarily concerned?

Pretty much, yes. Generally, choose brand and tension of strings for their sound and feel, not instrument longevity.
