PVC you would have a joint every 20’ that could potentially fail

I've seen some guys run rolled copper as the same principle as pe. Just unroll and solder in fittings.
Those joints don't fail randomly. Pvc will crack first. Pressure test the line before back fill, but pvc is stupid easy to get a good seal on the joint. Keep the ends dry and clean from debris when you glue them.
