"might be overkill"
just maybe
but I'm not surprised to hear that you haven't had failures
I don't think I would have the patience to do that many steps.

I then solder the crimp connection, apply a light coating of 5200, and heat shrink over that. Heat from the center out, forcing the 5200 out the ends of the heat shrink. Then apply a coating of liquid tape over that. May be the wrong way to do it, and might be overkill, but it works for me.
