I should note that the teeth on both my freewheel and crank are steel.
Steel, Aluminum, Carbon teeth or whatever, its make no different
As long as its straight, not too tight, not too loose, keep clean every after ride, well lube and change chain every approximate 3000km
Your drivetrain will be in good shape for a long long long time til you (probably) decided to change or buy a new bike
