They are in this application, you don't need massive strength it's only holding enough torque to crush a soft washer by a couple of thou.
Timesert still have risk of unwinding too. I've done a couple with helicoil, I just clean it with solvent and then hold insert in with a bit of bearing retainer loctite. No problems yet.
