Front bearing retainer - Permatex RTV OK?

As with many others, my TOB failed causing me to do a full clutch replacement and also replace my front bearing retainer that is damaged by the faulty TOB (70000mi)

Question: The manual recommends specific Toyota 1281 sealant on the front bearing retainer and specific thread locking compound as well that was green from the factory. Can I just get away with Permatex High Temp red RTV silicon and my standard blue loctite?

Lots of labor hours here so don’t wanna cut corners...
