I drive 4-5k street miles per year in this car, is there anything I really need to be worried about as it relates to reliability? I'm not asking about pads not operating as well when cold; I'm asking about potential damage to the kit.

Both have the same issue when driving on the street. If you don't have salt, I wouldn't be too worried.
We drove pfc, ap and then alcon kits on the street for years, but never in salt or snow
