It is not possible to prove or even to state that aestivation will make them less prone to decease or be stronger, too many variables involved. To date it is not documented that aestivation have any impact on well being of a frogs or their immunity and honestly I doubt it will ever be.
Dangers of aestivation if done not correctly is far greater then possible positive impact if any. There is no need to subject a frog to this unless for breeding. Breeders usually know what they are doing. However I suggest to keep eye on frogs clues, if it wants to eat less, or sleep, let it be, but maintain temps and humidity on a same level. This way sometimes they may rest a little, but won't go into actual aestivation.
