Are they stainless steel jet cleaners? I usually use brass wire from a brass bristle brush as it will not harm the jets.
Never a great fan of Carb Cleaner, much prefer Cellulose thinners, it can tarnish the jets if they are immersed for over a few hours, but certainly dissolves lacquer quicker than carb cleaner.
Having cleaned and compared all the jets they’re all the same size across the carbs so I’m sure they’re ok.
Youre right though, if I’m in any doubt I’ll just buy a new jet.
