> There's places where you can substitute wago, but often not, e.g. when working with limited space, e.g. repairing a broken wire harness in a car, or similar.

Don't fear! The wago inline splicing connector is here!

I knew about that, actually. It's way too big still for some uses, and I'm guessing won't deal well with anything that repeatedly lightly pulls on the wire (e.g. a trunk hinge). But for some other cases it's great.
Heat shrink solder connectors are the thing to use in this case:

Waterproof, tension proof, will handle more current than the wire itself, hard to install wrong, and very reliable (ie. No fires)
