Crimping is essentially quite a low skill method of connecting wires, when compared to the high skill and experience to do it reliably with solder. I would have a lot of trust in the Boeing crimpers, and I have worked with the SpaceX guys, and they were all very good.

I always thought it was less about skill and more that crimps were more reliable in high vibration situations. Solder often becomes brittle over time.

I'm only coming from shade tree car AV installation though. Nobody (probably) dies when it fails.
