Permatex grey RTV works just fine, I've used that numerous times for the job with zero problems.

Mazda wants RTV, so it gets RTV . I guess you could get a small oil seep there if you didn't put it on, that could get on the clutch and do weirdness.

Looks like you typed that post on your phone .
Many times RTV likes to set up a bit before being compressed. I've always installed immediately after applying the RTV, never had an issue.
Don't get too wrapped up on the torque figure on the flywheel, you really just need to get it as tight as you possibly can so the flywheel presses on to the tapered end of the eccentric shaft. I usually use an impact gun and just keep hammering it until I can't see it move any more. I also put some blue Loctite on the threads for insurance. Never had a problem.
