A crimped hose is be fine.
I mean it works for 5000psi+hydraulic systems!
Sounds to me as if they were not crimped correctly or the hose and fittings were not compatibale with each other.
Crimped fittings have a barb or tube inside, just instead of the screw on outer and olive they use a different way to secure them.
