PSA dust collection hazard

Mark. I noticed in your pictures 4" flexible dust lines going into 6" PVC pipes for what looks like dust / shaving collection from your machines. In my hobby it is highly recommended these lines have a ground wire inside and outside the pipes to prevent static sparks. Dust fires and or explosions from static discharges are rare but they have been known to happen.
Friendly safety message from your neighborhood woodworker.

Would that still be an issue with aluminum shavings?

I don't see why it wouldn't. Just like rubbing a balloon in your hair Same concept. Probably not enough energy to ignite AL but maybe enough to ignite any other dust in the ductwork.
