What year Jeep is this? Reason I ask is I thought I read somewhere that Jeep used to use a mega type fuse in front of the fuse box in some of the older Jeeps. They were having problems of some sorts and that is when the fusible link replaced the mega fuse. Supposedly solve that problem. No idea what the actual problem was though.
It's an aftermarket wiring set up, and I'm working with the person I got it from to try and figure it out right now.
Standard RTV, yes it must cure before gear oil is introduced. The lube locker gasket is instant on and off of diff cover and fluid fill. Can be reused indefinitely.

I've actually never seen a single person let it cure before filling. In the shop or any of my buddies.
RTV Black ideally should cure up for 3-4 hours before filling. It says 24 hours but I have never had a leak waiting ~6 hours to fill (unless it is really cold out).
The Permatex "RightStuff" is my favorite. Never leaks and ready to fill in 5 minutes.
I have not tried a Lube Locker but I really want to. Your diff mating surface should be gouge-free though, which mine is not.

this. ive employed the rtv method for well over a decade and never had an issue. to be fair, i also ensure the mating surfaces are clean enough to eat off of, as long as you like a mild after taste of brake clean.
The other benefit to LL gaskets is not needing RTV in the case of a trail fix
