Depends on the quality of the bolts. I use good ones everywhere.
Actually its a good question, how do you know if they are a good grade or not. or well made?
I dont really trust Nuke Proof and Tibolts UK for been the highest quality....

I 2nd that. Frequent crasher here and the only place I managed to do it was my seatpost on something really insane/stupid.
I use them for disc rotors, derailleur cable clamp, brake lever bar c
lamps, gear shifter bar clamps,etc. Tried using them on thompson x4 bar clamp, so much flex /creaking noises I had to stop riding ! Be aware not all ti bolts are equal, I got mine from motobike dealer certified with rolled threads
HTML:
Tompson 4x + wide bars = too much flex with any kind of bolts.
These guys are good in the UK, sound nuts that are quality. Cheap titanium isn't worth it's weight in cheese :-(

Even the best grade Ti has lower strength than a premium steel bolt.
I think the "If this breaks, will I die?" rule applies here. I would leave the stem bolts steel.
