Galvanic corrosion does happen yes, but will it corrode through the material (Al)? In 200 years maybe (or whatever big number, point is; not in our lifetime under normal diving circumstances). It is not pretty on tanks or the meg can, but not a mechanical problem. If you want to make sure it does not happen, put a barrier between the dissimilar metals.
