No worries. Myself, I've never seen any bobbin wear from kevlar thread. It's just waxed thread, it won't hurt your fingers at all.
(Kevlar or braid fishing line is a whole different matter.) Anyone who can be trusted with fishing hooks can surely be trusted with kevlar fly-tying thread.
If you want to try it, get some. I've used quite a bit of it, but it is considerably bulkier than the other thread recommendations you received. I try to keep my flies and jig wraps neat, and because of the bulk, I don't use kevlar unless nothing else will get the job done.
Hope this helps, good luck!
