Any good quality high temp grease should work fine just don't overdo it, the mistake you don't want to make is putting too much grease on, allowing it to "spray" onto the discs or flywheel

Or more likely...not be able to fully insert the input shaft because of hydraulic pressure.

This. ^^^. You'll know if you did too much if your clutch alignment tool won't go in and stay in. Lol.

^As long as the dust cover is in place, you'll be fine. Spending $30 for little tube of magical Porsche grease doesn't make any sense IMO.
