Not cycling with can...

I used to use Lubriplate in my cans but found that this grease stays longer and sprays on. I also spray the baffles as I shoot lead and this grease keeps build up down so they clean in 15 minutes.

Pardon Our Interruption

I've got some Aeroshell 33MS grease that I use on my firearms. It's definitely not an aerosol. Would it be of any use applied to a suppressor? Admittedly it would be much more of a PITA than something that could be sprayed in.

Also, the website that sells the red grease mentioned above also lists a high-temperature CRC aerosol grease. Would that be better, worse or neutral for this application?

The higher temp grease is always better in a can. I usually put mine on with a brush as I assemble the baffles. The spray I use mostly in a .22 bolt action can as I load it up and it makes it super quiet.

Aeroshell 33 is an general use airframe grease which is lithium soap with some Moly added. It really is not made for any kind of heat environment. It was developed for the environment that aircraft fly in and, if I recall correctly, it has a range of like -50 *F to 120* F. I wouldn't use it on a piston and spring.
