In my video, I provide notes and links in the comments section; Stud and nut conversions along with the torque specs. It looks like a lubed value of 299ft-lbs or dry of 254ft-lbs is the highest likely torque you'll need... Unfortunately the largest reasonable torque wrench you'll probably find is 250. Pushing an wrench to it's limit is not particularly easy - by design. While you might not "need" a multiplier, it will absolutely make things easier.
There are lots of ways to lock a bolt without lock washers. If you absolutely know that the nuts are backing off, then I would suggest a second nut to act as a lock nut. You asked if there was anything you were missing. A critical step is to be on the hard when you torque the bolts.
