Spokes with alloy nipples do not need to be any more loose than brass nipples.
I've seen crashed wheels that had the spokes break before the nipples pulled
out and I've never had the treads strip out of a alloy nipple.
The disadvantages are its easy to round off the nipple if your not careful
with the spoke wrench and nipple and spoke can weld themselves together
if not properly lubed.  Oil is NOT ok because it washes out after wet
rides and time.  I use NeverSeize.
