Wrapping the olive with PTFE will do no harm. IMHO it gives a better

Hemp and boss white was never used on any compression fitting I've ever
seen.

I don't routinely use any gunge on compression fittings, but have used
LS-X on problem ones (both copper and plastic waste) to good effect, it
has a very long shelf life.

Yup IME LS-X will fix pretty much any poor joint that would be very
difficult to fix properly.
