This is just one data point, but my wife redid a bathroom in our house a
few years ago. Sealed the drain with putty. Seems fine, the room
underneath would have a stained roof in a hurry if it did leak...
It was hard to make the pipe that the tub sat on exactly the right
dimensions to line up and screw in the drain, but when we got it, it
seems fine now years later.
