Starship tanks likely hold several bars of pressure and survive transportation to orbit...

That is actually with the caviat that the internal pressure help structurally a bit. But that is still plenty for a gentle rotation in otbit and 1 bar of pressure.

And if the plan is to do this; you want to prepare the rocket for this purpose anyway so nothing stops you from making a thicker wall and sacrificing payload capacity since the hull is the payload.

Starship is also meant to be reusable, so there is an additional margin already built in.
