Although I don't know about that software specifically, I would assume it's similar to the issue of 100 affiliates using the same merchant datafeed.

Especially if Google did a human review - if all sites were the same cookie cutter sites using the same datafeed, they could all be seen as thin affiliate sites.

But I would think if you picked a rather unique product category with that software and added value by making it somehow unique like adding reviews or product comparisons and then added some of your own unique content.

Also look to see if sites built with the tool leave a footprint. If they do and there are thousands using that cookie cutter software then Google may have or could in the future easily pinpoint and devalue those sites.
