Nylon/Fluorocarbon strings will work in any banjo because the membrane requires very little energy to vibrate.
The tone will become softer and plunkier. You may need to sift through brands and gauges to get the tone and tension you like.
Feel the posts and edges for rough spots that might wear through plasticky strings, and smooth them with emery paper.
PS. You could ask Gold Tone to install the six string neck on the AC composite rim. Or do it yourself.
