I have been working quite a bit with stainless steel fasteners in the past six months or so.

We are using various sizes, ranging from 4mm to over 20mm. You need to be aware that once SS fasteners are tightened or torqued to spec they very often seize together. Anti-seize will prevent this.

If you forget the anti-seize and you need to separate the nuts from the bolts you are going to have a problem. On the small fasteners you can sometimes simply use enough torque to shear the bolts and replace them. On the larger diameters you can use a cut off wheel if there is room enough to get the tool into position, otherwise it can make for a bad day.
