    You are assuming there will not be different sodium compounds.

    Already, sodium chemistry works better in cold, and sodium batteries can charge faster.

      Yes I am, because that’s a safe assumption, just like assuming gravity will keep working. We’d need to discover new physics to make Lithium and Sodium plausibly form different compounds as our current understanding of physics predicts them to behave nearly the same. At this point in time, there’s nothing to indicate there’s anything wrong with that part of physics.
