I noticed on McMaster Carr while looking up the Viton brakes seals, they also offer a silicone seal with a wider temp range, and similar hardness. Any reason to not use silicone seals in the brakes?

Unless they give you a durometer spec equal to the Viton, most silicone
is softer and less desirable in this application. I use flourosilicone
o-rings for fuel caps, but there is no sliding piston like a brake caliper.

You would be the beta tester. Let us know how they work.
