I did 5 splits this summer. 3 from KTBH into TBH nucs, and 2 from KTBH into langs.
1 of the KTBH nucs absconded and 1 of the KTBH absconded.
Why? Should I put on queen excluders and use LGO in every lang split?

So you gave them a new queen? Did they leave right away? Was it hotter than the hinges of Hades? I'm just curious for I certainly wouldn't know why.
Walk away split. Let them make their own.
Yes on the hot, days up to 105.
