I suspect corrosion-resistant steel alloys haven't been around long enough to prove themselves in that regard XD

Corrosion-resistent is not the same as non-corrosive.

I suppose gold as a noble metal would be stable over a long period, as it's non-reactive. But certain kinds of acids can still dissolve it, unlike ceramic

I can already see them rusting down by the harbour. Meanwhile people still find bits of ceramics left from ages last on the beaches.
