Any major issues single component milling with what I assume to be mild steel?

I ordered 316 SS media and milled 75/5 Kno3/Charcoal.  Turns out they weren’t SS as they started corroding soon after, compared to a small qty I had if genuine SS that did not corrode.

Iron oxides can be a catalyst/rate modifyer in burning reactions, so yes it's possible that there could be adverse reactions if you have even single component milled mixtures. Whether it's significant in your case, only you can tell . BUT I'd suggest against using steel mill media. 

Proven inert mill media includes lead, and alumina ceramic balls.
