The metal particles aren't what will bite you, it is the material from the clutch packs and bands. That material isn't metallic. It is what usually is dislodged when the fluid is changed. Anything large enough to settle in the pan is large enough to be caught by the filter, in general terms. I agree it looks bad in photos of a transmission pan, but it isn't like it is hurting anything.
