I already removed the originals, and the stainless replacements are already here
The nuts are the copper ones FCP sells. aluminum & stainless corrode, but not in a catastrophic way. We do 1000hr salt fog testing on stuff at my work, frequently containing junctions of aluminum & stainless (5052 & 316 specifically). I don't think it has ever caused an issue in our application, which is sensitive RF equipment & will detect if advanced corrosion is present because it'll induce PIM.
And maybe this is one of those experience things where you'll end up being right, but I think the consequence of failure in this scenario is low.
Also the car doesn't just drive in TX
