Default 4-point electrical question

Square D panel that was updated with in the last 10 years. Aluminum wire going to servicing the AC condensing unit. AC service disconnect is fuses. I'm not concerned about the aluminum wire, but is the fused disconnect an issue?
Thoughts? How would you write this up on a 4-point?

What do see as a problem with the fuses? At one time old AC units required fuse protection.

Fuses are perfectly acceptable.

The only issue I can think of is that some units say wire with copper only.
