I have another wheelset with the same hubs on a gravel bike which often needs the cones retightened a few times a year. To be honest, it's sometimes on single track mtb trails so gets a beating compared to the touring bike.
I used to ride 1,000's of miles on very bumpy streets & only rarely needed to tighten cones other than when cleaning/re-lubing. IME hubs are one of the least critical components...M756 look like good hubs for touring.
