If you apply antioxidant paste, torque the terminations to the correct value, and use wiring devices rated for Cu and Al conductors, there are zero problems.

Most homeowners know none of the requirements of aluminum wire installation so I don’t recommend using it, oxidation is bad and can cause fires. Just pay for copper NM cable, it’s dirt cheap anyways.

FWIW I sell and run electrical work for a living. I assume crote and amluto work in the electrical industry, since they’re the only other posters in this discussion who know what they’re talking about.
