Just like my Auntie seize and Uncle loctite always said, whatever you prefer, never go in dry.
I really like the use of carbon here, actually. So many carbon applications in my opinion, don't use the material very optimally (handlebars, automotive body panels, to name a couple), since it is strongest and stiffest parallel to the fiber direction. I could imagine much of the force here being mostly parallel to the fiber direction, with a bit of bending or side loading. If you need a dropper and weight savings is your thing, I think this is a great place for it.
