An alternative might be to use bare crimps rather than those which come with their own shrinkwrap.
Then you can use your own shrinkwrap which is lined with hotmelt glue, to both seal the crimp and, more importantly, to bond it to the insulation sleeve, thus supporting the critical area against damage from flexing.
This has the added advantage of guarding against getting a bad crimp which works loose, since the joint is now encased in glue.
This is my std practice on most (if not all) crimps these days, if there is room for it.
