For you, or us on a small scale (and time to make sure the bolts are

Depends on the industry. Most automotive applications are heavy users
of thread locking adhesives. Take a frame, body, or suspension bolt out,
and likely as not, there's a blue stripe on it.
In space applications, we tend not to use thread locking adhesives:
tradition, careful measurement of running and final torque, and lots of
staking of the heads/nuts using external adhesives. There's also always
a concern about outgassing, although I'm sure one could find
threadlocking adhesives that don't outgas.
We do use Solithane sometimes.
