Stay with stainless. A poorly sealed hub will let grit in, eventually destroying ceramic bearings if that’s what you’re thinking.

would stainless bearings be a good idea?
No, just get branded (SKF, FAG, NSK etc.) regular steel 6001-2RS. Stainless doesn't have the load rating or durability of regular steel, and your problem is wear, not corrosion.

Did they have seals either side?

I’ve just stripped my gravel bike rear hub after about 4 months use to find some knackered bearings.
It’s a Novatec hub which seems poorly sealed, I can sort this out a bit but would stainless bearings be a good idea? (6001)
