I note the objections to backing out the four screws, and I even have the Speedplay torque wrench, which I don't think is terribly useful. I also have the lube gun and have disassembled them.
I'm giving you N=1, but it's a pretty solid 1.
I have used Speedplay Zeros for around 20 years and have never had an issue because I backed the screws off of the recommended torque spec. I indicated that you should do it within reason, meaning that you back them out quarter or half turn each. They four screws still stay in place and don't back out any farther in my experience, which is probably over 50K miles and across dozens of sets. They come with blue Loctite and tend to remain secure. Moreover, the walkable version has a cover that goes over the screws as well.
Just my experience: hasn't been an issue. But I don't work for Speedplay (or Wahoo now).
Finally, Speedplay recommends that you use dry lube on the cleats. That tends to help as well.
