Lots of good wheel science here!
I've only ever had to threadlock (green /light duty) a few wheels, had mad unequal ness, non drive side had so little tension that they were bound to rattle loose.
All otter wheels the nipples and any washers are stored in plastic pots with oil in them, as others have said, massively sorts out spoke wind up and other things. Never heard of the linseed oil method.
Like the dt squorx nipples (brass versions) which come with a mild thread lock in them
