If you hook, there is a great chance you will break the rear. Any way you look at it, the harder you hook, the more stress you place on your driveline components. I had nittos with stock converter and didn't break anything. Of course, I left from idle and only made about 3 or 4 passes on them at the track.

You're far less likely to snap your rearend with your A4 than a M6. Mainly due to the fact that you can 'preload' the rearend when you stall the car up at the line, allowing the force to be more gradual than a sudden shot like dumping a clutch. The way the torque convertor works (fluid instead of metal to metal) it's going to allow for smoother operation without the hard impact of a clutch. Another good thing is the TCI series street convertors are more 'friendly' to the drivetrain than other brands because they don't hit as hard.
Go with the stickiest tire you can afford to replace (mt et street radial) and hope everything stays together, anything can happen but your odds are better than a M6 car.
