Do iguanas in South Florida actually do much ecological damage?

They cause erosion by digging their burrows which causes millions of dollars of structural damage, they spread salmonella through their feces, they eat nickerbean which is the host plant of an endangered butterfly, and some snails were found in the stomachs of a few iguanas in one park.
But none of that seems THAT bad from an ecological perspective. Besides the butterfly, it doesn't seem like they're endangering any species?
