I've not had a rotor scrub hard enough on the pads to be an issue for riding. I have had them sometimes make a harmonic noise when I'm moving my bike around at home. But that doesn't mean they need any fussing with.
Yes you do need to keep your bolts tight on the rotors or the center lock if you have that. I recently found my rear lock ring on my center lock disc's a little loose and tightening that up fixed some funny noises I was hearing while riding that I wouldn't have identified with brakes.
Well, enough to rub on one or both sides if the calipers are tight enough. I mean if the gap between brake pad and rotor is 1mm, and the rotor warps 1 mm to side, it will rub.
I only find my brakes work well if I tighter them as much as possible next to the rotors. Which only works if the rotors are straight.
Forgot to write, I have TRP Spyre brakes.
