Is that a reasonable worry?


No.



Just learned that the "fake brick asbestos" around the chimney is
referred to as the chimney surround. Any idea how much a new one of
those cost (installed)? I hate the thought of the metal chimney
showing coming thru the front part of my roof.

You can also try to seal up the gaps with some Great Stuff.

were coming into the attic from the gab between the chimney and the
roof!
