The reason I don't recommend saucers is because they don't mimic the natural running style of a hamster unlike an upright wheel. I've never come across issues with either Syrians or robos unless of course the husbandry is poor in general (many times the owners simply take videos rather than help the poor animals as they go flying off!). I wouldn't worry yourself over it, especially if you tried. You could also perhaps leave some treats on the wheel to at least get them to sit in it, which in turn may encourage them to run.
