I can't see the alloy breakdown that you posted well enough to know how much tantalum is present. It's typically a minor alloy addition. It's relatively inert and corrosion resistant so my guess is that the likelihood of allergic reactions to it is relatively small. If you were going to roll the dice and hope you don't have an allergic reaction to any given element, tantalum's a good one to risk.
