It's not. Our home in the Historic section has a metal roof. I was actually pleasantly surprised when we had that rain storm a couple weeks ago, and it didn't traumatize me or the cat. It was mostly a nothingburger.
Obviously metal roofs are allowed in the Villages, in general - since most of the homes in the old section have them. Whether your particular section of the villages allows them, would depend on your particular section.
But it's important to understand they -do- eventually need to get replaced. They get dinged and dented by debris and branches, pitted from bird poop and sap. They'll last a good long time but they won't look new forever.
