Is the copper pipe/plastic coupling satisfactory long term?


Yes.

(I am aware that I could have used a copper coupling and a metal insert
in the plastic pipe I just wonder if I "should" have done it that way
round.)


Presumably you used a plastic insert?

Yes, I did use a plastic insert on the all plastic side.

My worry is about the long term effectiveness of copper-in-plastic versus
plastic-in-copper. So far I haven't seen anything which mentions this.
Possibly because it is a non-issue - they are equally durable.
