Compression plugs are designed for carbon tubes, so there’s no need. It won’t hurt though.

I have defaulted to always using carbon paste unless it is explicitly prohibited. It’s just better to use less torque or force to get the same gripping power on anything carbon.

With ones I got I torque to 10NM, carbon paste is more for carbon meets carbon areas to help stop movement or slip like carbon seatpost in carbon frame
