A fastener only needs to do the job it's designed to do and/or support
the load it's designed to support. 

For softer materials it "may" be appropriate to use a coarser pitch
thread so you get more depth of tooth in the material, rather than a
finer pitch at greater engagement.

The only way of working that out correctly  is to do the math or use a
fastener analysis program.

An example from such a program is shown here

Unless specified otherwise, standard drill/tap tables get used. Zeus
tables are pretty much a workshop must over here.
