Coravin - Residual Sugar: Yay/Nay?

I'm curious to whether anyone has experience with regularly pouring dessert (or high-residual) wines from a Coravin device shared with other wines...

For some reason, I have this unshakeable anxiety that - even after purging/rinsing - you may be caught with sugar residual that could go weird/funky, and disrupt the device's usage on other bottles (i.e. the consistency/lifetime of other bottles being tapped from the device).

Any experiences/observations/opinions are greatly appreciated!
