It is only a slight problem. Some wastegates hit, some don't; within manufacturing tolerances, which are generally large on cast parts.
If you get one that hits, your best bet would be to shim out the manifold and/or the wastegate with extra steel shim gaskets. Failing that, a touchup at the machine shop would easily fix it.
