Hmm... I've never seen an adjustment screw tighten on its own. In any event, no locking nut would not lead the valve to drop into the combustion chamber.

When the valve train wears, to the point valve adjustment is required, valves actually get quieter, not noisier. The valve clearances get tighter from wear. Valve train noise is caused by loose clearances.
So often an engine gets a little noisier (back to normal) after a valve adjustment.
That of course assumes just plain wear. If something went wrong, like a valve adjustment nut coming loose, then you could get lots of valve train noise.
My point is, while I think a valve adjustment is a good idea for you now, you need to be looking for issues while valve cover is off besides just typical tight clearances.
Look for other things that could be wrong. If somehow you find excessively loose valves, that could be your noise.

Not yet. I am going to barrow my friends torque wrench tomorrow and get it done.
