"and it will mean when the joints inevitably fail "
those push fit things give me the fear (if encased) just had the pipework done in new bathroom using those new fangled crimp connectors, didn't realise they were a thing but the plumber does on call work for hotels and they do not allow naked flames on site so had all the crimp tools to do it that way.
Did have a solder joint fail on an unvented cylinder the day after install which flooded my hallway a few days before a new engineered floor went down so no joint is 100% secure...
