Probably not, full stainless rivets are a thing and they are very good and (unnecessarily) strong but you need a heavy duty rivet gun to fit them and they are a pig to drill out if/when you want to remove them.

Best to use aluminium on a carbon can IMO as future servicing may well see you damaging the carbon on removing the stainless rivets...
