I'd be inclined to unscrew the lockring now, while the grease is fresh. I've always erred on the side of not tight enough with lockrings because if they do unscrew in use the only thing that has happened for me is the shifting has gone weird.
When you unscrew it, just be careful the removal tool is firmly seated. If needed and just to get it broken loose, you could use a QR and a couple of washers to make sure it can't slip and strip the female splines on the lockring.
