My ‘23 Trek Emonda SL7 came with a carbon bar and aluminum stem. I assume Trek thinks it’s OK. I like the design of some bars that have a flat section near the stem, but you need to consider mounting options for a GPS type computer, as the usual out front mount cannot clamp on an oval bar. You then need to use a mount that clamps to the stem bolts, or something along those lines.
