Ive never heard of a stud or nut on a cam cap failing during use when correctly torqued, its only normally when people either assemble or dis-assemble that they get a problem.
If they did start coming loose, i would expect you to hear a rattle like a lifter was shagged as the clearance would be too big suddenly, i guess if you were really unlucky the cam itself could snap too, but even that rarely result in any bottom end damage
