You could, however you’d also need something between the fastener and subframe and through the centre of the washer although you would limit the amount of contact. I wouldn’t want anything compressible holding my subframe on though...
It wouldn’t be that bad if they were tucked away, but they are open to road spray including salty water in the winter and that would increase the corrosion (only tends to be a problem where an electrolyte can coat the two materials and of course salty water is a great electrolyte but water / moisture has a similar although lessened effect)

Quick fix not an issue but long term stick with the oem material
