Re: Any problems using SKINNY 32 pitch gears...

What material are they? I would recommend against aluminum or brass at all. Something like stainless or hardened steel will be alright in the applications listed above. I would not recommend doing the actual shifting with these gears. Keep them very near the motors in your drivetrain and they should be okay.
