I’ve never encountered a DHW tank made of stainless steel with stainless steel fittings.

The error that will destroy your pipes is to use anything copper in the condensate plumbing of a condensing boiler. Use PVC, CPVC or PEX (or stainless steel) with plastic fittings (PVC, CPVC, “engineered polymer”, or John Guest ProLock or similar). The high CO2 concentrations in the condensate will rapidly corrode copper.
