30Nm has always worked for me, never had a square taper arm come loose.
I find that giving self-extracting hex-driven crank bolts much more welly than that runs the risk of deforming the hex head itself.
I’ve also found a very thin film of grease on the tapers helps fully seat them without excessive force, despite this being often frowned upon for some reason.
