Limited slip, worth it?

Just curious. Since viscosity is a major factor for the stock LSD. Would it be safe to say changing the fluids every so often will keep from failing? Like oil changes. Maybe go with a thicker fluid.
Also with the stock sport LSD, does aggressive gear shifts in straight line driving effect it? Or is it only cornering? Some Z's that are FI can wear out te stock LSD with aggressive off the line starts fast right? Thanks.
