Based on what I've seen and learned in this thread, that really does sound like the clincher. There's definitely some overlap between manufacturer's crimping dies where the insulated terminals can be made to work, but if I were working on any mission-critical application, pull and endurance tests are probably the only way to be sure the crimp is acceptable.
Yesterday I was checking out a friend's private airplane. Lo and behold, there were double-walled insulated crimp terminals all over the place. I doubt the (U.S.) Federal Aviation Administration would sign off on the use of these terminals if they weren't reliable, especially considering the prevalence of required backup systems and fail-safes in the aviation industry.
