They're fine for me. Do keep in mind this shark bite fitting "technology" is used in high and low pressure connections, both pneumatic and hydraulic, in the industrial world for decades.

Industrial grade stuff is another level of quality though. For SharkBite fittings, including the new version, the mode of failure is the same where the stainless steel ring that bites into the surface of the tubing will pull through the body of the fitting itself. That's why the fittings usually work better on new PVC and plastic tubing than copper but still require a very clean and smooth surface.
