I know that the little screws, which fix the individual bracelet elements, are glued by Rolex with a tiny bit of Loctite (or another product). In my view, the ultrasound might loosen these fixations, mostly depending on agitation time and frequency.

Therefore, I would not risk a potential disassembly of one or more bracelet elements, which might happen during wearing the watch.
Understandable concern. Though I've never had an issue with it.

But, now that I have my jewelry steam cleaner, I hardly ever pull out the ultrasonic. I think the steam cleaner works much better and is easier to do on a more regular basis.
