I always do it. I've seen too many problems in the past OVER TIME which is the main concern when it come to oxidation. I've seen green ox inside on some crimp only connections and some have gone bad to the point of falling apart - and of course it all would depend on the relative humidity levels and atmospheric conditions. Rosin flux is harmless. Oxidation which spreads is not.
You would need a machine press to crimp them with a force greater than the human hand. And if you try to do it by hand you may do damage to your hand joints - and that is totally without worth in this case. Carpal Tunnel hurts quite a lot and leaves you miserable.
Solder them up after weighing the facts or solder one channel and leave the other undone if curious to see what happens in your setup.
