Some minor bump on the down tube next to the bb, so you buy it, build it and whats the worst that can happen ?
Certainly its not going to disintegrate and pitch you towards a fractured skull, at worst the area might crack.
So the occasional outing, but dont ride it like its a DH monster, no need to wobble, straining at the pedals.
Were it mine I could wrap that area in epoxy soaked carbon fiber cloth and use my vacuum laminating kit to clamp it tighter than a ducks bum, which is waterproof incidentally. 8 tons square meter is going to bind it to that tube and it aint coming off.
You'd need to fully prep the aluminium and also put a layer of fibreglass in between the carbon and aluminium or you could cause the aluminium tube to corrode away!!
