You'll be fine but it up to you. I know people that have been riding and wrenching longer than many of us have been alive and they never had issues with lightly greasing.
Grease is used on metal-metal contact for a couple reasons. First, it prevents corrosion and parts from seizing. Second, grease is needed to overcome the friction that would otherwise suck up the force applied to secure a bolt.
