I've also heard about how easily quick-releases can go loose from the chain tension on track bikes, which really just sounds like a terrible situation.
You'll be fine using track bolts. It's just as solid with your track wheel as it is with a quick release wheel. Lots of people use those types of trainers. Just don't do any violent waving back and forth (not that I would expect you to)...but that would also apply to a quick release wheel.
