I think the carbon buildups were more of a problem back in the "leaded" days... may vehicles had "pull and decoke" the heads on their standard service 
schedule.

I chase the threads every time I pull a plug out (really good practice when dealing with alloy heads) so I think others doing the same would be fine 
regardless.

Folks that "index" plugs add more dimensionally than the thin thermistor adds under the plug. A non-issue IMO.
