" I only use locking compound on bolts that stay bolted. "
GREEN (WICKING ) Loctite is perfect for sump plate bolts.Alternative is Purple.
Why do you think Porsche used MEC bolts all over the M96?
Red Loctite or blue would be a different story.
If, by mistake/intent you use blue, and want to remove the bolts easily - 'crack' them when the engine is hot.
Without a threadlocker, heat cycling/vibration may loosen the sump bolts - unless you over-torque.
