Lemme just drop two reasons why I'm pretty damn sure Steven won't be corrupted:

1: It goes against the previously established rules of the show. Corruption has to be induced by the diamonds (or obtained from fusion with a corrupted gem). The Diamonds would have to do this intentionally now that they actually know they can do it. The ONLY possible evidence I can think of from corruption aside from the diamonds would be Spinel, and even then that's a stretch (no pun intended). Spinel retained full lucidity and was completely aware of everything that was going on, despite her reasoning faculties not exactly being in good condition. Corrupted gems are completely bestial in nature, and behave as if they were animals.

2: It'd be too depressing of an ending for a show that's generally a feel-good series about overcoming life's issues. Presumably, if Steven were to be corrupted, his healing powers wouldn't work anymore, meaning that he couldn't be healed. ever. Even then, leaving the main character a broken wreck at the end would still be too much. Rebecca's making a show about overcoming challenges, not having bad things happen just cause it provokes emotional responses. He might lose himself for awhile like Spinel did, but even then he'll probably come out of it alright.

And yes, I know everyone said the same thing about Rose being Pink Diamond when that hadn't been revealed, but that hadn't broken any previously established rules.
