Yes!
"They won't fail at the joint but on ether side, will be the weak point"
My experience in a number of soldered joints including old ones that I did on my 40 50 years ago which were all replaced a few years ago.
"Another problem with a soldered joint after it has been shrink sleeved is that the joint can fail and the shrink sleeve will hold the two ends together causing a troubleshooting nightmare."
Yup, this too on the a ground termination near the head on my Buell motorcycle. It would break the connection when the handlebars were turned a certain way. Picture of this attached ;-)
BTW, it is great fun to do the connectors like in my other pic.
