Unless you're only planning on firing the oven up during the full moon, I think you're over-thinking things. Blacksmiths don't paint their anvils or tools for the same reason. Once the surface rust happens, it won't progress much further unless it goes unheated for long periods in wet weather. I'd loop back to the "Well, what are the potential side effects if it flakes off or outgasses etc?" line of thought and just go with "Steel."
