Bed Liner/Rubber Mat Question

I just purchased a 2021 Tacoma yesterday. The dealer threw in on the deal a Toyota rubber mat for the six foot bed. (which I wanted)

My question. I was thinking could there be a possible future moisture issue with that rubber mat sitting on top of the factory bed liner? One wouldn't think so and I didn't think to ask one of their car techs. But moisture and time itself could have some type of effect. I wouldn't think rust could develop. Maybe a staining (color issue) between the two? ?

I figure many owners out in "Tacoma land" has had the same set up for years and can give me the answer. Thanks!

I've had bed mats and bed liners in trucks with steel beds for years, yeah they attract moisture and some surface rust, but the taco has a composite bed so i wouldn't think there'd be an issue. I have a tonneau cover on my 2020 tacoma...it gets pretty hot in there, i haven't noticed ant moisture under my bed mat thats been in there for a year now.

I'm thinking about getting the mat. I'm new to Tacoma's, and heard the composite bet is quite slippery when wet.
