Worth remembering that torque values change dramatically when torquing wet as opposed to dry. Which could cause failures.
I tend to fit nylocs, then spray the outside with a light coat of blackit from Buzzweld. Seals against moisture, torque values remain the same and still easy to remove.
Whole point of a nyloc is to stop it coming loose under vibration.
Same reason you dont apply anti seize to wheel nuts.

Don't think you are supposed to use spring washers again either.Won’t make any difference as you shouldn’t use nylocks more than once anyway. Use grease it’ll stop them seizing. Don’t use it just cut them off and bang on new ones.
I can’t afford new nuts and grease.
But a "friend" has re-used them several times without any problems.

i'll reuse spring washers, you can see if they still have spring in them or not. if they dont then they are more or less flat

Britpart have a good safety system for their spring washers. I've had several of theirs that went on brand new, had to be taken back off shortly after and they cracked and fell to pieces. No ambiguity there.

You have a better memory than me. Must be 20 years since I have even seen a Greeves.
