Soldering is usually limited to pipe flashings, small areas and some vertical seams where mechanical seaming is not practical. As far as electrolysis when zinc and lead are in contact I imagine it can be a problem with pure zinc sheets; VM Zinc is a Zinc, Copper and Titanium alloy that does not corrode or deteriorate with exposure to lead.
