Probably slightly better than what is on there. AS5 is an old paste that has a cure time, there are better options nowadays. I would the kryonaut paste from thermal grizzly is one of the best, but not cheap. Arctic MX-4 is also very good but should be a bit cheaper.

SO THE GRIZZLY kryonaut is safe to use on my aluminium heatsink?

Yes kryonaut is paste not liquid metal. Conductonaut is their liquid metal. Look at their FAQ.
