I don't know if I would, but now that you mention it, I will at least go check them now!

go for it
use low hold green loctite. A drop or two per spoke. Have not touched them in 60k km.

Do a search and you'll find previous threads about using LockTite and the need to put zip ties where the spokes cross.
