Silver wire is a better conductor of RF noise, so you might also have RF noise problems.

Just because of the metallurgy?
Clean copper and clean silver should behave similarly at any frequency we care about. However, real copper is corroded by exposure to polluted air, and real insulation is not impervious to this pollution. The corrosion products of copper are semiconductors, and I believe they would increase the effective impedance of the wire to RF.
