Is oscillation destructive to PA device?

[Dummy]

What is the long-term/short-term effect of oscillation due to
instability to the PA device? Can oscillation cause PA to overheat and
subsequently device failure?

Yes. Maybe very quickly, maybe not for some hours.

Or forever, if it's designed as a power oscillator.
