Came across some large gauge aluminum wire for a feed for my shop, the size fits the load, but it must be fed through my house( has a separate conduit run for it in house slab) off house panel, should i even consider this given the info here?

Aluminum feeds are common, more than copper, not really what's being discussed here.

almost everyone uses aluminum for feeder wire these days. Those are usually going from lug to lug, both of which are rated for use of aluminum wire, and isn't a cause for concern IMO
