what would the adhesive do attaching the cleat to drywall? the paper isn't
very strong, and that's all you're gluing to.

How do you know the OP is attaching to drywall?

Nonetheless, much of the "fastening" of chair rails, wainscotting paneling,
to drywall is done with at least some construction adhesive. Later down the
road, when trying remove same, you gain a quick understanding as why it is
not a bad idea to include in it in a "belt and suspenders" approach.
