It’s not dangerous at all if you do it correctly. If you live in a very salty area like I used to, you basically need to add antisieze or when you have a flat you won’t be able to get your wheel off.
I’ve been lubing my studs for over 25 years. No issues. Torque them a little higher.
I think the fear is from a lack of knowledge. Plenty of vital bolts and studs in your engine are lubricated without locking features and don’t come loose. It’s all about knowing the amount of vibration and correct torque specs.
Sure an automated blast furnace needs lube AND lock wires or Nord-Locks or similar.
