My exact feelings. For me, I would worry about the Alu bonding to the Alu or what ever. The plastic ones have a known lifespan (60k /mi or so)...BUT...assuming you can get to them you can ge them out. If they break, you can get them out...(I have many threads about the saga's of broken plastic cooling lines on all various sides of our engines.

No problem , the plastic lines get brittle with age and heat cylces and leak coolant, this eliminates that with metal and coolant hose

You're right they can last a good while, but these give that extra peice of mind. They have an anodized coating so corrossion and bonding wont be a problem. Of cousre the plastic parts will get stuck , 1hr job turns into 5.
