I have used loctite 234 on the bearing and frame interface. Shimano premium grease on axle and bearing interface, bb30 bearing shields and axle splines. Have had zero issues on creak.
I usually do a big maintenenace run before and after winter, cleaning and regreasing. Replaced bearings after about 15k km but it was all pretty hassle free.

Thanks for the replies @Glws and @LeMesjeu,
As you guys gave different answers I figured that it doesn't really matter what crank to get.
I managed to find a rotor crank for 80 euros second hand. I'd say the chainrings are still in good condition. I'll clean up the crank and post some pictures later.
The only doubt I have about my purchase is that I kept BB30. Bearings are steel, and a BB30 axle is aluminium, this apparently causes galvanic corrosion, causing the aluminium axle to gall. I'll be sure to regularly grease the interface between the bearing and the axle to prevent that.
If the axle really starts degrading and I start feeling slop in the crank, I'll just buy another one.
