Never seen any corrosion issues from that at all. It only releases acetic acid (vinegar) as it cures, which is maybe a day. Manufacturers use it all the time to stick caps directly to circuit boards. Heck, look inside a modern Fender amp, you'll see it in all sorts of places.
I'd be more worried about heat buildup than anything else. Anyway, this guy was a very solid tech, so he's thought all that out. He primarily used that trick on just the highest gain stages in guitar amp combos, where the speaker directly rattles the tubes.
