I use it if I remember to, but I've found that the fit of my shorts is more important than using lube. When I wear loose fitting shorts, I'm constantly shifting and adjusting, and every thing ends up sore. Snug fitting shorts seem to eliminate the problem for me.

i have ridden on trusty saddles that were in the wrong place and immediately started getting irritation. make sure your saddle is in the right place; that's up/down and back/forward.

I use Chamois Buttr, as do at least a few other cyclists I know. I don't bother with it on short rides, but anything 20 miles or more. I just squirt it directly into the shorts. Not shy about the quantity, either. It's a good idea to get out of your shorts as soon as you can after your ride to prevent any issues with bacteria or anything, whether you use a cream or not. I don't know if you can get a yeast infection or not, but I did read an article about getting out of your shorts asap for hygiene purposes. And, of course, wash them after each use.
I think you just to have figure out what works for you.
