"Riv-Nuts" are a brand, there are others that have been used in cars and aircraft for at least 50 years, particularly in Europe. There were some we used for space.

In my experiences you want to install them very tight in a precision drilled hole, otherwise down the road they will spin instead of loosen. As long as you have access to the back side not a big deal.

Even if the nut loosens the bolt typically doesn't
