Flight controls in tailwind

Hi there.
Iīm just wandering about when modern jets are parked in tailwind (talking 40kts+) with hyd pressure off, what about the flight controls. It surely canīt be healthy all the jerking and slamming (of the controls). In the old days we did have gustlocks, but now they seem obsolete.
Do any companies leave hydraulic pressure on at the gate when parked in strong tailwind?

Best rgds,
