Re: How safe is running cast or coated through a suppressor?
My can is not serviceable, I shoot coated bullets mostly and don't see any issues. Plain lead will most def make your can gain a few ounces over time. I no longer go there. Subs can be dirty even with plated/jacketed so I recommend a serviceable style to folks. Not that big of a deal with supers only in a barrel.

You will definitively get lead & lube in your can with cast.
Much less with coated, but the coating on the boolits goes through hell while being fired.
My suppressors are all sealed and I do not clean them.
What I do is inspect them and fire a string of full power loads to blow all the crap out.

Re: How safe is running cast or coated through a suppressor?
I've done as Dr. Phil has in my .30 can, blast some hotter loads to clean it out a bit. Weigh before and after on the postal scale...no joy. I may have fired a few too many subs or not enough full power stuff. It seems to be a candidate for a sonic bath. The manufacturer will do it for me, it's on the to do list. Meanwhile my bride and I are repainting our duplex and other assorted to do's.
