I'm sure there are all sorts of cases where, if you really care, it matters quite a bit to get that extra 15 minutes of life out of the component by reducing vibrations with the perfect torque.

But in reality yeah, snug is fine, and if it's a really vibrate-y component with solid materials maybe you can upgrade that to tight.
