Aftermarket hotends Flashforge Adventurer 5M

Does anyone have experience with replacement hotends like this? I want to start printing carbon fiber filament. It looks like the Adventurer 5M is capable of getting hot enough to print this, but I’ve read I need a hardened steel nozzle to handle the abrasiveness of the CF filament. I went down a rabbit hole and found that I have to replace the whole hotend on this machine in order to get a hardened steel nozzle.

I came across this aftermarket hotend that has replaceable nozzles and is made of hardened steel. It’s also much less expensive.

Has anyone used these? I figure I’m going to try it out and I can always return it to Amazon if it fails. Do I need to change any settings for the machine?
