The people using ferrocement say that if you leave your galvanized wire/mesh sitting out in the weather for a while then the zinc oxidizes and that coating prevents the reaction between the cement and the zinc.
I used weathered galvanized stucco mesh as one side of slip forms for papercrete. After several years there is no visible reaction. YMMV
