30k here with zero problems. Check torque at 85 ft lbs every 3k.

If you set your torque for install to the high end of the range (Say 90 ft/lbs for argument's sake) and then when you check them set to the low end of the range AND DON'T OVER TIGHTEN (say 80 ft/lbs here) , you shouldn't break the thread locking compound loose.

Another route is to get marking paint and put a stripe across the lug nut and over the stud. That way you will be able to tell if it is moving at a glance.

All you have to do is set your torque wrench 5 ft lbs less than your previous torque so you don't break the locktight seal.

Heck no... when installing I torqued to 90 and then when checking I set the wrench to 85 and am careful to not over torque. Haven't had a single one break free yet.
