is it generally acceptable to use aluminium sprocket nuts

In my opinion, no.

They are going onto steel bolts, and you don’t want those interfaces to suffer galvanic corrosion.

Also, I imagine the torque settings would be too much for aluminium nuts

I see that they are being advertised for ‘weight-saving’, but that must be negligible and I certainly wouldn’t risk it myself.
