Don’t think so. Their primary goal, from what I can tell is durability, reliability and precision. An aluminum bezel is more prone to scratches.
Besides, I don’t see these efforts to bring back vintage looking bezels as being successful. Look at the new omega 007 Seamaster. ADs selling them at discount (or at least used to last year when it came out)

Mainly, ceramic green bezels just doesn’t have the vibrant green as with the LV bezels. What new technology could re-produce the aluminum LV look? The blue, black and red bezels look good in ceramic.

Given that Rolex loves to recommend new hands, dials and crystals during service on older pieces, I’m going to guess it’s not happening. I would love it, but Rolex seems to like their watches looking as new as possible and uniform in their appearance.

No, Rolex would consider this trading a superior technology for an inferior one. You might perhaps see brushed ceramic in the future, but aluminum is something for the history books.

It's like Apple releasing a new Intel-powered computer in 2022.

I’d like it on the modern Pepsi, better color saturation than ceramic

I wish they would. I know they never will but I guess I’m the weirdo that prefers them.

Granted they may look a bit odd with the current design aesthetic.

Anything is possible but I find it highly unlikely. I do wonder what material will be next when the technology allows.
