Any reason not to use Lock Tite on headset lock nut?

Title says it. I have an older steel bike with a 1" threaded steerer. It seems like every time I take it on gravel or even rough road, the headset gets loose. It's a nearly new sealed bearing headset so it isn't a wear issue. Is there any reason not to use a drop of regular Lock Tite on the threads under the lock nut to keep the headset from loosening up?

Thanks
