Yes. I'd stick with what you've done regarding the tapers (i.e. not greased). It's a big debate that I can't be bothered to participate in, but to my simple mind I don't see how a taper fit can fit properly if there's a layer of grease in there as well. It's not a bad idea to follow the manufacturer's instructions either.
