Parking my M8 Fat Boy regularly on a hill. Will it damage the engine or cause issues?

If your bike starts to slide on the kickstand it's to steep.

There is a security device I seen, can google it, that you clamp on the front brake. It won’t hurt anything. Extra piece of mind. Can be a cheap **** like myself and use Velcro as already suggested. No issues on an incline to park and leave in gear, as noted by those in the know. The crazy talk of rolling backwards or sliding over on kickstand is just that. Pay no mind.

Well, if you must insist on whatever your calling common sense, I don't think we all have a equal share. ?? .
As one traveler that has been around a while, I have used more and more of what I have learned.
At my age, when one starts living on borrowed time, you need to listen to what you are calling common sense.
And maybe I have listened to more then some who didn't get this far.

Just for peace of mind, park it nose first like you described. Leave it in first gear. Then try something as a wheel chock about 3-inches behind the tire. NOT touching the tire yet. See if the bike rolls back to touch it.
Oh yeah, something substantial that's not easily moved.
Or use a wheel chock all the time on that hill.
With my Ural and sidecar rig, It can sometimes roll back even in first gear,
My 6.8 - cents.
