I have been using Dot 5 in all our restorations since 1981 and have NEVER heard of an issue from anyone. Keep in mind that most of these cars are not being daily or even multiple weekend driven cars and sit more than anything. For our daily driver restorations we use Dot 3. Our main reason for using it is for safety during the restoration as for the reasons mentioned earlier, it won't harm paint and is non corrosive. I don't care how careful you are, you WILL get brake fluid spillage someone sometime.
