Just throwing out a data point, but the iRex DR has a 10.2 inch glass screen (larger than the size you're talking about) and has been out since November of last year. There have been very few reports of broken screens.
Theoretically a larger screen would be more fragile, but in practice it doesn't seem to be a real issue. It probably has more to do with a well designed case with structural support and a good cover than it does with any inherent problem with larger/glass screens.
