I don't, but I swap cassettes a few times/yr.
A bit of grease on the threads wouldn't hurt anything.

Can you generate that much force in the boonies, with a simple tool kit, to get it off , when a spoke Breaks ?
to be sure, Have you tried It at home first?

Anti-seize is fine but I just use grease.
That's the spec all right, but it's insanely high IMO. No reason to go that high with a steel freehub body. The teeth on the lockring/cog will keep in in place at a much lower torque. All it does it make it more of a PITA to take off.

*They made an aluminum Dura Ace freehub but it had taller splines to prevent gouging.
