Not in my experience. I've had my crank off several times, and each time I torque it to spec and it doesn't get loose.
FWIW, I have the same experience with square taper. I grease the taper and the threads on the bolt.
The interface I *used* to have trouble with is the cottered crank. I would repeatedly re-tighten the cotters. Until I got a
Cotter Pin Press... now it's "one-and-done".
