If you're not getting any flex in that aluminum, then it should be fine. MDF has its durability issues but as long as it's dry, it's ridiculously stable.

Thanks, it's only spanning about 36 in but there is about a 16th of deflection with my heavy duty router on board. I might shift the slab towards one of the weaker spots on my folding table because I figure the MDF will bend down there a bit and maybe I can match the slop in my rails with the slop in my table setup 🤣
