I started using it in the late 60's when first building motorcycle engines. Always used a high temp lead or copper based paste. I also use it on my wheels. It's saved having the wheels bond to the hubs (alum alloy to steel). Never had a problem with it. Yes, a little goes a long way. I was taught to spread it evenly in the threads and wipe excess prior to threading.
We use it in the refinery business as a matter of course. You try removing a 2 1/8" nut that's been heat cycled to over 800F several hundred times without it....it's no different in cryogenic service. Lots of our refrigerated propane systems run at -60F and anti seize is a must.
I've read the TSB's also and take them with a grain of salt.
To each his own indeed!
