Carbon paste is always a good idea when you're trying to clamp carbon; you don't need to grab it as tight. It's not so much about how solid the carbon part is, as the fact it's basically plastic and inherently more slippy than metal - clamping something like that is basically a shit idea, which carbon paste makes less shit.

Carbon seat post in alloy frame, grease or carbon paste? Seat post seems pretty solid so not sure how likely slippage is.
Also alloy stem with carbon bars, more confident that’ll be carbon paste though.
