There is no problem putting cabinets on any flooring. They are screwed to the studs. Source: I used to do this professionally for a company contracted by home depot. there were very strict "best practices" in order to avoid any call backs, and going on top of any flooring is not an issue.

If the cabinets are installed on top of the tile, there is no issue getting the dishwasher in. Dishwashers are all made to fit perfectly under a 34/5" cabinet, and have room for leveling.

I used to do kitchen installs for a major company. Tile/flooring under the cabinets was our preference. When/if the cabinets need replaced or upgrading in the future but the tile is still wanted, you are stuck with the footprint of the old kitchen. Also, the standard counter height of 36” is based off of a 34.5” base cabinet, so whatever your flooring height is can throw that off if added later, unless you shim that extra amount in the cabinet install.
