I can see ceramic coatings in combustion chambers and the top of pistons, but I'd be concerned that ANY flexing of the rocker arms would reduce the integrity of the coating and result in failure - releasing ceramic particles or flakes into your oiling system.

Personally I wouldn't do it unless I saw a LOT of data to support that use.

YMMV
