Unless you are filling a glass container to the rim/completely (leaving no room for expansion), then no, 'basic physics' should not cause any issues. And that would apply equally to plastic containers...
arent you not supposed to freeze things in glass because of basic physics? because water expands and all?

There *should not* be issues if there's room to expand at the top, but you're still taking a risk. I do it anyway 🤷
Plastic is a bit more... plastic... than glass, but can be brittle at low temperatures. I don't feel as bad about losing a cheap plastic container though.

Glass containers filled with liquid will generally not crack in the freezer with some simple precautions.
Only use thicker walled glass that is vertical, preferably tapered out and never in. it's all about slower expansion AND contraction.
As has been pointed out, leave space at the top. Chill to refrigerator temperature before freezing at 0°F. Recommended maximum temperature for freezer food safety.
Thaw slowly in refrigerator and then air or COLD water. Never use warm or worse hot water, let alone the microwave.

None of this matters if you're using borosilicate glass.

So sad, I also have a bunch of glass with lids that have worn out. Typically cheaper to get a new set than just the lids....
Not sure but I recall a friend telling me they sell lids at Walmart
