You've made some really insightful points about the practical advantages of incorporating some wiring in PCB design for easier servicing and overall reliability.
While the trend is certainly towards integrating everything on a single PCB to simplify assembly and reduce costs, there are definite trade-offs when it comes to repairability and durability. Your example of using "service loops" to create manageable sections for troubleshooting and replacement is a great one. It not only makes servicing easier but also allows for some mechanical flexibility that can prevent stress-related damage, especially in more dynamic environments or situations where physical access is a challenge.
The PA66 design you've described, with well-supported PCB standoffs and mechanically secured tube socket leads, sounds like a balanced approach between modern PCB design and practical serviceability. It's interesting to see how some traditional design principles, like the use of standoffs and careful soldering practices, still hold strong even in the face of more streamlined, integrated approaches.
Do you see these design considerations playing a bigger role as more products move toward miniaturization and integrated design?
