Never used ball grease...... On trailers, lol.
And in going on 30 years of towing or being around probably 50-100 different bumper pull trailers I've rarely seen it used.
Although when I was a kid turning wrenches there was one guy who would grease the hitch balls on all the trucks (or trailers). Never fail, I'd grab the hitch pulling myself out from under a truck and have a nice dirty splotch of gritty grease on my hand.
Not sure how,long it takes to wear out a hitch or coupler, but it's definitely a long time. Never seen one wore out or appreciable wear.
It certainly can't do any harm though.

Do you use any kind of a lubricant on the hitch ball?

Grease tends to encapsulate grit which grids away at the ball. Try a dry lube like motorcycle chain wax. Unlike grease it's designed to repel dirt. It's also repels water so it doesn't wash away easily.
