I had that same concern, but then that former Chiefs scouts' take on that point convinced me otherwise.
I forget who posted it (Direckshun?), but basically the guy who was being interviewed said that its a non-issue, and an upgrade over Belcher. He said Kuechly can thump in that role.
EDIT: Here is that thread:

Yates: Sure. Kuechly played in a poor program in Boston College last year, and Kuechly was pretty much the one and only talent on the field, which resulted in him scrambling all over the field last year, giving him the look of a Will. But he can play the Mike great, and will stay on the field all three downs.
Not even Ray Lewis is a three down guy. DJ could play five downs if he had to (lol), but Kuechly would stay out on third down because he can drop so well.
