If you add it in your tank it can actually have an adverse effect on your octane rating.
Corrosive.... do some reading up, some good testing has been done on 'nonE' motors and no wear signature was found, in fact some cases it was actually better..there are off course arguments for both sides as expected, I think the main concern is when the fuel is left stagnent, i.e. long term parked vehicle, also some seals , O rings etc could degrade if not sepcifically designed for E.
Personally I have converted 3 vehicles to E85 and all I changed was the fuel pump, injectors on two of them, the other had new fuel rails, new injectors, and an FPR, never had an issue, granted my tank never stayed full for long ;-)
I know plenty of guys running E today on non E vehicles, hell my pal down the road ran his 454 69 SS Camero on it lol no ****, guy one up from him has a blown viper at 700 WHP on it, designed for it? no, tuned for it, hell yeah
