I wouldn't worry about it. The torque exerted by a bolt-on cog is much smaller than the torque that a disk brake can exert on the hub. To make the point, you can't even come close to accelerating or decelerating with a FG drive train at the same rate that front disk brake is capable of decelerating.
I've now got hundreds of hard offroad miles on my tomicog,, with no sign of the bolts loosening.
