    IMO the concern is galvanic action causing the steel & aluminum to basically corrode and stick together. This is a problem for threaded objects that you will be removing later, but I cannot see that it's a problem for steel studs that you are installing once and never taking out again, other than to change out guide plates. Just know that in the event you DO have to remove them in the future you may be heli-coiling some (or all) of them to put in new.
