All the shims I can find are metal (I figure plastic will be better for carbon) plus the only plastic one, by easton, is specific to their stems!

would you only use a plastic stem with the bars? How can Alu create issues when pretty much all stem clamps are made from it?

Easton use a plastic shim, and also look at the USE seat port shims > ALL plastic
on this basis, plastic, especially with carbon, could be the safer option - emphasis on COULD

USE shims aren't all plastic, the smaller ones as Aluminium, they only use plastic for low weight, as far as I remember they say this on their site.
