I hate that my axles have the useless grease fittings, I will never use them.
I used them yearly on my old Komfort. No issues whatsoever. No grease leaking past the seals and, when I =did= replace the bearings, mechanic said I could have used the old ones, no problem. IIRC, they =were= Timkens as OEM, but I went ahead and replaced them anyway.

I have always wondered after time, where does all that grease that keeps getting pumped in there go. There is only so much room in there. I would think after a certain amount of time ,and grease, it has to start getting pushed back thru the seals ????. Although I do have them, I pull out the bearings ,check the brakes ,and adjust ,and repack.. Definitely no issues so far doing that after 12 years with the present fifth wheel , and original bearings.
