This is exactly right. VT is intended for applications that vibrate rather the getting “hammered”. It’s also intended for removal and reinstalling a limited number of times before reapplying. This sort of implies to me that I would be seeing the condition of the fastener on a somewhat regular basis.
Pro tip: don’t leave a big glob on the screw. Wipe it down to the major diameter (outside) of the thread so it is only filling the thread at most, a little less is better. It’s easy to use too much on small screws and when you do, the material has enough strength that it will just stop at the start of the hole and the screw will rotate inside of said glob. When this happens you end up with a washer made up of VT.
