Lsx for me has always been fine
I've been siliconing bath wastes for 25 years and I 'm still looking after some of those bathrooms...not a problem yet and I also silicon the overflows and under the taps.
I only use Kalderwei and Bette baths though.

Call me old fashioned but on the odd occasions I'm asked to do a bath I use plumbers mait. Bugger to get off your hands but never had a problem with it.

If you use a little water, it tends not to stick as much, if at all.
Put it in the fridge overnight before the job,doesn’t stick to you hands as much then.
Just make sure the misses knows you put it there first lol
Only time I use sealants (neutral cure) on any bath is if the underside is uneven, usually with acrylic baths, anything else and I find sealant just isn't required.
