I've never locked my user page despite frequent vandalism.  

There are so many editors monitoring recent changes that user page
vandalism rarely lasts more than a few minutes.  We have special tools
that make user page vandalism very obvious, easy to spot, and easy to
revert.  So this really is a non-issue.
