IMO yes, if you're looking for a joint to last another 30 years.  In theory,
just the crimp is better, but in practice a solder joint backed up by a
crimp joint seems more likely to last.

And I'm talking about crimps made by professionals, using a calibrated
ratchet type crimper.

Should be OK, if you drive mostly at speed.  For primarily low speed,
stop-n-go, you might want one of the various upgrades.
