Built with thousands of alloy nipples though and no problems. Brass nipples work fine but with thin spokes they can cause more wind up than alloy nipples. Corrosion does not seem to be a big issue either.

Same here - if your spokes are the correct lenght, chances of breakage during the lifetime of rim is very slim. If your spoke threads are prepped correctly no seizing will ever occur. And wind up is a non issue with a properly lubricated components.
