Less so than many other forms of steel previously used in automotive, no? If you want to compare to other materials like composites and plastics then sure, but those will have their own drawbacks as well. No material is perfect but for some cases where you do want an alloy body, stainless is going to have benefits over non-stainless steel.

Perhaps, but those aren't the exclusive, or even main, alternatives today.
