Be thorough selecting nutserts. Good USA nutserts are splined for thick walls and checkerboard (knurled) for thin stuff. Absolutely use Never-Seize on aluminum nutserts and stainless needs it as well.
After error-and-trial 40 years ago I came to the conclusion for all thicknesses and all materials I had much better luck with SAE fine thread nutserts. Probably because the bolt head has to rotate additional circumference before lock washer loses tension.
Chrome Moly Vanadium heat treated steel is never cheap (Nitrited in some instances)
