Unhappy Turbo tie-rod sanity check - Red loctite?

I'm about to replace the tie-rods on my 1970 911T, and I was speaking with a shop who recommended I put red loctite on the end that threads into the steering rack to prevent it from backing out...

This seems excessive. My understanding is that you'd need heat to get the thing unscrewed in the future. Seems like good ol' blue would be good enough, right?

Note to self: The stock tie-rods have a giant locknut that must be unscrewed with a drift before you can unscrew the tie-rods from the steering rack...
