I was looking into DIYing a few things out of acrylic and one of the acrylics that stood out was the metal acrylics. Has anyone ever used this before in their tank? Is there any concern about it leaching anything into your tank? Image attached for reference.

If everything is sealed into the acrylic, sure. Otherwise, ask whats being mixed into the acrylic, since it will be exposed when doing cuts, etc. Many metals will be fine, but for example copper flakes would be bad.
