Jenni,
No. I'm sure the intention of the instructions was that metal might
inhibit the growth (especially the initial growth) of the delicate
wild yeasts. Once the culture is strongly established with your dough
full of millions and millions of the little critters, I'm sure a few
minutes of contact with a metal bowl aren't going to do any harm.
Relax.
