It would only be a circular argument if autoimmune conditions were the only way to become stressed. As it stands, this sounds more like a "vicious circle" (whereby one caught in this cycle has a hard time exiting it).

Is there evidence that stress can occur and not lead to a vicious cycle of inflammation and autoimmune disease?

I am a big fan of Mate, but I think his ideas are oversold if not by him then by many he has “helped”.
