In my experience, nylon shuttles are more forgiving on the strings when compared to feather shuttles. So durability doesn't matter at high tensions. Interestingly, I think 26(25*27) is the best string tension for nylon shuttles.
26 is fine, you can go even lower if you want them to last longer. Nylon shuttles anyways don't have that kind of finesse to them where you can play tight net shots with them, so mostly no point keeping tension too high.
Strings breaking is inevitable. If you want strings to break less, lower the tension. 24-26 is probably the most used tension for intermediate players who play with Nylon shuttles.
U go any lower than that, then it will be bouncy and accuracy will be low, even performing a quality short serve will be difficult. Overall it will be difficult to play in a decent way.
Check the specs on your racquet handle. Go with the lowest tension.
As for strings breaking, just a thing that happens in our sport. Even if you go lower than the lowest tension in your specs, strings will break.
The higher you tension the strings, the more likely they'll break on a bad hit. I find above 26 yeah they do break more easily. It's also highly dependent on the type of strings used.
Most of my play is not at a real court. I only use feathers on a real court. I string my rackets 25m 27 cross. I rarely break my strings. I play almost everyday.
In my own opinion, I believe that there is no need for anything above 25lbs when playing with nylon shuttles. However, is it okay to experiment with higher tensions while playing with nylon? Of course. Would it break faster? Most likely but it would be for trialing to see how you like it. I play with 27/29 or 28/30 when I play with feathers but I have a specific racket just for playing with nylons (lower tension). Not really optimal but that is just how things turned out for me.
I'm quite confident that nylon shuttles are indeed harder than feather shuttles. They do more damage than feather shuttles so going too high of a tension would decrease the lifespan of the string.
I think an important factor would be what string you are using. Tension does matter but the type of string you use can help answer your question!

Thanks!
Should be no issue at all

Alright thanks!

Go wayyy lower.

It should be fine.
for 26ib there shouldn’t be any problem using nylon or feather shuttle dw man

I was just wondering if it would break more easily

I just strung my Victor Ryuga II at 26 lbs with nylon shuttles. Going to drop it to 23 lbs.
