I have my plate bolted on with nylock nuts and loctite. The bolts for the bracket also got an application of loctite.

4 years now and it hasn't gone anywhere.

Nylock nuts are the way. No thread-locker needed on them.

I always keep some zip-up ties in my riding gear. If I pass a parked bike with a missing license plate bolt, I'll zip-tie it back into place.
