TPS54308: Switching current to flow under the device

Part Number: TPS54308

Hello! 

The datasheet says not to allow switching to flow under the device. Is this a suggestion or a hard rule? 

 I have a customer that is far into their design that includes the switch node coming out from under the device, passing by the ground pin. I can send their layout privately if helpful. 

Thanks!
