All in all, cf is not necessarily a ideal material here.
The flexure in this application is not a given, nor is it enough of a proven concern to be sufficient to cause CF failure properly fabricated.

If my personal choice was to be between a 1950's moon alum covers pictured above vs a flat CF cover, aesthetics alone would be for CF, but that is me.
