From my research I think squeaking is a diversionary tactic that is mitigated beyond material. In fact squeaking is an indicator of wear. Think of Cobalt Chrome as a silent killer. No squeak same wear.

I was playing devils advocate a bit as far as phase changing in vivo increasing cracking of SiNi like biolox. Looking at the patents it's obvious they where attempting a novel formulation of Alumina oxide based ceramics to mitigate phase changes that promote cracking and took a left turn into SiNi went down the rabbit hole and never looked back. However, it is prudent to be cautious without the 10 year in vivo results we're not on a level playing field.

Look at the hip and knee. The hip looks like a ceramic on ceramic. The Japan study suggests a strategic partnership revision to include a PEEK liner. The knee looks like a SiNi coating on metal.

I`ll present a case study. Not mine I just heard it and wasnt able to ask questions so the scope is limited. A child patient with an extreme metal allergy. Patient needed a THA. The entire metal implant was coated with a DLC (diamond like coating). "Definitely an interesting trick to add to your tool box". Now what was this DLC? on the mohs hardness scale,my guess, Silicon Nitride is a prime candidate.
