Maybe I’m not soldering correctly but I’ve had soldered joints break right next to the solder, on joints that are subject to movement, with only a year of service. I’ve attributed that to hardening of the copper wire from the heat. Those same joints were repaired with crimps and waterproof heat shrink and have been good for years.
I do agree the you must use good crimp connectors.
