Anyone else thinks lever actions are the coolest/most interesting single actions out there?

How serious is the carbon ring issue with shooting 38 in a 357?

it's not. Carbon rings DO appear, but it takes a LOT of shooting before they affect anything, and they're not all that difficult to clean out. Same as with a stainless revolver and carbon staining around the cylinder: it's mostly cosmetic. Things have to get REALLY gnarly and neglected before any functionality is impaired.

Basically: don't worry about it. With regular cleaning, you probably won't notice issues until thousands of rounds are fired -if at all- and even then it just needs some flitz on a bore mop in the chamber. Use a drill if you're impatient, and it's fixed in a few seconds.
