the only bolts you should consider replacing are for the brake calipers. the ends of the top caliper bolts are actually open to a pocket in the wheel carrier. water pools in the pocket and corrodes the bolt. when you unscrew it later, it will pull the corrosion through the aluminum & gall it. eventually, it will seize in the hole.
So, not sure what that means...that the bolt will "seize" and be hard/impossible to remove?
as for loctite? don't use it anywhere except the axle nut. i personally use red here, but if you hit the correct torque spec, it's technically unnecessary. i use loctite red on any rotating parts where the rotation moment can cause the fastener to back off. this would be the right side axle nuts & right side CV bolts.
With your experience, I assume you've had to remove an axle nut that you had previously pasted with red loctite. Break out the heat gun/propane torch? Is it tricky to get the right amount of heat and not too much? (Sorry...I just don't know these things 
)
