I've had a carbon frame with this. Personally I think it's fine.
Carbon and the adhesive that's used to bond it to the alloy BB shell are a little flexible and the shell is not, nor is paint. -
Had a btwin made in France composite frame that customer got warranty on, I made it into a commuter road bike for a mate (hard to find smaller franes) and it did at least 5 years until a van smushed it at a Sheffield stand. Had similar slightly maybe a bit worse cracking of paint around alloy bb shell where it was bonded into the rest on both sides. Don't remember it making any noises.
