From a safety point of view or are they just not very good? I've not used one before, I need a new stem and understand that carbon is meant to reduce road vibrations.

Get some £30 use ultimate carbon bars from their outlet and stick to a reputable alloy stem
The carbon stems I've had are also usually so overbuilt to not be flexy that they're super stiff anyway. Ritchey for example

That's what your tyres are for. Most carbon stems are heavy and very stiff.

I suggest you don't get a carbon stem
