A properly torqued nut on a stud is at the same risk of coming-loose as a properly torqued bolt is.

Well - I've seen it happen. Everything torqued properly - but used regular blue loctite. Notes vibration on track, comes in all the studs on the right side are loose. I've run studs on my cars for many years, never used loctite, never needed to.
