He runs a busy shop with good reviews so I will take his advice. Any other real world experience?

He also said OK to reuse my 915 head rocker studs as I am reusing the stock rockers. I bought ARP head and intake manifold bolts.

A thin/light/even coat especially around the cooling holes. that stuff is very good for sealing and glueing gaskets in place. I know Felpro says use em dry/as is live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Using the RTV around the ports won't hurt, should only help, but its probably not needed and will just create a mess to clean up if you take it apart. Honda bond is good stuff.
