Whether you use Pitlocks of QRs, if they aren't tight enough, and if your fork isn't designed properly for disc brakes, the hub can work its way out of the dropouts by the action of the disc brake. If you get the skewer tight enough you'll be okay, but that means getting it very tight without damaging the skewer threads, and doing it right every time you install the wheel.
The issue isn't the Pitlocks. The issue is using disc brakes with skewers in a fork not properly designed for disc brakes and skewers.
