Wouldn't high-altitude metallic aerosols do the opposite?

    unfortunately no. per my understanding the problem with starlink satellites burning up on re-entry are two fold:

    1. the aerosolized aluminum retains heat, not reflects it
    2. the aerosolized aluminum reacts with ozone, damaging a critical protective layer against the greenhouse effect
