So how bad is solidering # 6 copper wire for high amp draw in a slice
joint?

With stranded wire, solder creates a discontinuity in the flexibility
of the wire - it's stiff where the solder has wicked, and flexible
beyond that point. So, it's a potential failure, unless there's
strain relief behind the joint.
