Don't worry about rubbers as long as you're not using any petroleum-based cleaners. Brake-fluids of all types contains conditioners and lube for rubbers.

You really want to use 100% isopropyl alcohol or denatured alcohol to clean out brake system before going to DOT-5. Alcohol dissolves glycol-based DOT-3/4 fluids to thoroughly clean system and not leave any trace compounds behind that'll contaminate fresh DOT-5.
