I like your changes, and keeping the wife happy is always a good thing!

The metal bonding adhesives are pretty amazing how strong the bond is, don't think you will have any problems. A little extra reinforcement never hurt.

On the SS vs steel rivets. From a galvanic corrosion standpoint both are "protected" by the alum, or in technical terms the alum is anodic to the steel or SS. But for any real corrosion you have to have an electrolyte, usually water serves this purpose, and so between the sealer and the coated alum frame you will not have much chance. The bigger advantage is the SS will not rust due to general corrosion, or just basic corrosion of the rivet itself. The SS will stay shiny, whereas over time the steel could get some rust.
