The automatic 4x4 only sends power to the front tires when the rear tires lose traction, so this shouldnt be an issue on dry pavement.
As was said, its really hard on the driveline to turn sharply on dry pavement because there is no slippage and it causes the driveline to bind up.
Toyota says to use 4x4 for 10 miles a month for people who use 4x4 every once in a while. All they want you to do is to splash the oil inside the diff around a little bit so that it keeps everything lubricated. If you never used 4x4 for (just using this as an example) 5 years and then one day went to use it, chances are that it might not work.
Its a good idea to use 4x4 every once in a while, just be carefull where you use it. The best bet would be to find an unpaved road to use it on, but thats not an option for everyone.
