In the end I went for dry on the tapers + threadlock on the bolts. All went fine, although I was surprised at how many turns I was able to put in before the torque really started to ramp up past 30 Nm or so.
Also, it was clear that if I'd put some welly into it, as indeed I would have done in the absence of a torque wrench, I could have pushed the cranks further on. But the majority of the taper is engaged and I forced myself to stop at the specified max.
