If ribbon tweets are anything like ribbon mics, they would be very delicate.

ribbon tweeters are fantastic if you install them right and have the crossovers built right for them.
They do tend to be costly though.
I've considered a set as an alternative to a set of Esotars.

Mostly they are physically massive...
Also, generally they sound so fabulous because they work in a dipole manner - something that's generally not even possible in a car - where's the rear sound energy going to go, in a positive manner?
I shouldn't say "impossible" - but most often, very impractical.

a lot like electrostatic panels in a sense.
I just have the advantage of having a massively huge interior to work with.
