I thought there might be a galvanic corrosion issue... probably best to go with stainless throughout, except for 'galling' issues in tightening stainless against stainless...

I agree with the crevice corrosion risk with 316.
Can you find hardware in 2205? That might be a good option.
Exposed to rain is better than under cover, at least it will get rinsed once in a while.
