Soldered joints are stiffer than the wires, so you'll have a stress riser and the wires will fail right next to your soldered joint.
I tried crimps, but I didn’t have any small enough- the wires are really narrow. I’ll probably replace the wing mirror looms at some point so soldering is a tactical measure.
I agree it’s not ideal by any stretch of the imagination.
