If you're limited to an enemy level of about 40, then Viral still works out pretty good vs armor, IF, you have a weapon that will proc it very quickly.

Effectively with Viral (post proc) 56 damage out of every 100 is actually hitting a HG or Bombard.

Where as with Corrosive, it's 75, but then, it does diddly squat vs a bombard (unless you can do multiple procs in quick succession)

So if you want to build a single weapon for mid-level grineer missions, Viral really is the way to go.

Also you get Elite Lancers & Eviscerators who also have Alloy so, it's practical. The cloned flesh bonus is always in play.
