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

Yup. They won't back out by theselves if they are tourqued.
In 3 years and countless wheel changes I have not had one loosen at all with blue locktite.
If you use red, and somehow break a stud, good luck getting it out. You may have to replace the hub
