I have been working recently on a 1895 Kranich and Bach upright with double flanges connecting the hammer butt and the damper lever. The screw holding the flange in place has a brass washer that makes about three complete spirals. When the screw is tightened, it will be a very long time before it comes loose because of the washer being compressed. I think it is a good idea. The lock washer, that is, NOT the double flange!
