I can think of no situation where a crank that is undamaged would go on “more snugly” than the original installation. Even for square taper, there is a limit to how much the crank arm can slide onto the spindle. If someone over tightened (and damaged) the arm, that would change but just removing and reinstalling a crank will not change the location of the chainwheels.
I’ve removed and installed thousands of crank arms without needing to change the limit screw settings as long as the same crank is used.
