I don't think I would use it on tubes, but the non conductive stuff I
would think should be fine, BUT in the ultra non science world of tube
audio all bets are off. ;)

The Silica in the DC4 could that be to absorb moisture?
I've been using a product for electricians by
Gardner Bender, Ox Gard,
same basic silicone grease, but it contains zinc crystals, which are
chemically sacrificial (mainly for mixed aluminum and copper) and
mechanically pokie on the contact surface. I wonder if the DC4 would
be any better with gold plated contacts?
Speak of the devil, I was looking gold tubes and sockets.
