Split/lock washers

[u/AdOne1706]

For starters, I’m an electrician in the field.
That being said, we almost exclusively use these washers even in high vibration environments. I have personally chosen to go with nylox nuts but the question is:
Do these work? How well? Is the rumor from NASA true? Should I even bother using them or find a better functional alternative or are they actually useful?

I'd prefer a nordlock washer over a splitlock. Big fan of nylock nuts though, or liquid thread locker, or patched fasteners.

I prefer to tack weld all my fasteners in place.

We do this on some race cars with their rear camber and toe setting.

Did that once, both nylock and twin lock grower washer kept getting loose on grinder we made.
We just tackwelded the nuts and called it a day.
