You got it!
I keep hearing all these weird stories about IF water gets in there it
will settle to the bottom and rust things anaerobically, but since the
DOT5 is more or less hydrophobic and there is little or no air circulation
in the system, to me the likelihood of getting water in it is vanishingly
small. It certainly didn't get in there in Panama, which is about the
humidity capital of the world. That is why the Army adopted it. (I was
in on the testing - reduced brake maintenance probably over 97%)

You DO need to be careful handling it that it doesn't get shaken or violently
stirred. Likewise pour it slowly and deliberately so you don't get bubbles
in it. Very small bubbles are hard to get out and make for a spongy brake
pedal.
