I suppose if in aluminum they are probably as strong as a platenut. Right? What about in lower cowl for nose gear transition fairing? And whether rivnut or plate nut do you need an aluminum back sheet fo holding on the fairing?

If you use them, use the ones with a lock tab from Spruce. I tried the serrated style from HF on a test piece and they would spin too easily. Even when crimped well. I used nut plates instead for less future pain.
