Nice neat job. I thought you had done this weeks ago. Are they spring washers and don't forget a bit of copper slip on them threads when re-assembling. :thumbup:

I would use spring washers it can't do any harm. There is a lot of vibration down there with all the bumps in the road etc they will help keep the nuts from working loose, especially with a bit of copper slip so they don't seize themselves on.

Dome nuts protect the thread from all the road crap coming off the front tyre.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
