When I added TPMS to my previous trailer I went with the flo-thru 507's and can easily see why TST recommended metal stems (which I did). Those sensors are pretty long & I could evision them whipping around in certain situations. However after I peeled one off on a curb & switched to the older "button" style (doesn't stick out past tire) I'd be less concerned. Those are so small & light it doesn't seem like rubber stems would be a problem. YMMV.
Next trailer had metal stems so a non-issue.

I have the TST installed on rubber stems and haven't had any issues. Have had two longs trips, 3000 miles and 2000 miles, no problems.
I had one valve stem failure and the rest were showing early signs of cracking.
They were replaced with metal.
