The bottom line of the situation is adding external lines to your oil system exposes you to an additional set of risks. Aside from having a high quality install with good fittings and hoses and inspecting it regularly, your best defense is an oil pressure gauge.
Again, a careful installation with good parts should be worry-free!
When driving hard on the track, on a road trip, or even just around town driving, one shouldn't have to constantly worry about parts failing and getting stranded.

Even push-fit hoses should have high quality hose clamps used on each fitting.
