There is nothing particularly special about nickel plated brass. I have read that it may not last as many reloadings due to it being more brittle that non-plated.

I've heard that as well. I've got some nickel-plated .357 Super Vel brass that I've been reloading for over 35 years. I guess they must have forgotten to add the stuff that makes them brittle. I don't have to worry as much about the plating flaking with those cases because most of the nickel has worn off over the years.
OTOH, I had some Remington plated brass that started flaking around the case mouth after one loading - that got pitched.
