Antiseize is a lubricant and you'll have no idea how tight you get them but it will be over tight and risky unless you adopt a lower spec.

Not really; fastener manufacturer's like ARP have published several white papers on the subject of dry torque inaccuracies when compared to using different lubricants; in every case, a lubricated fastener was correctly torqued while the dry fasteners were not. Lubrication
aids in obtaining consistent torque values, not detracts from it.
