The James Webb Space Telescope is incredibly precisely made. But it will be mounted on top of several tons of rocket. How do they make sure it doesn’t get warped in flight?

Very careful simulation based on testing data. Engineers have experimentally gathered data about all the different materials used to make the telescope. This data includes failure points given applied loads, vibrational frequencies, etc. They can use this along with a computational model of the sattelite to predict how it responds to the forces of launch. They design can use the results of these models to improve/change the sattelite design so that it can withstand the forces of launch.

That said, It probably takes some clever engineering on the part of the mirror to make sure that forces are applied evenly to it during launch.
