The cerakote is made to minimize rust in harsh environments: exhaust systems, parts on boats, sand. It's thin but very hard. It has a better chance of not rusting than any other clear coat, as it does not require a primer. That said, if it's scratched, that would be a point of rust egress.

FWIW, stems are only a part of steering and handling. Bar shape and sweep have as much if not more to do with handling, as well as trail, fork offset, hta, tires, tire pressure and stiffness. Any change on a bike will require getting used to the change. As a long time fitter, I have found
