Thanks for the advice but for now I'm looking for specific (good or
bad) testimonials from people who had their copper pipes epoxy-
relined.

Why on earth are you so stubbornly intent on wasting money? You've
already had one qualified opinion that the relining process is prone
to problems. Consider the physical facts of the process: To fully coat
the pipe interior it must be totally filled with polymer mixture, then
drained. If you believe that drainage will occur properly on an uphill
run, you are dreaming. Faucets and valves must be removed to avoid
damage, of course. After draining, the mixture needs substantial time
to cure properly despite claims to the contrary. All things
considered, epoxy relining may be a reasonable fix for a simple street
to meter line to the house, if you are prepared to accept reduced
water flow rates.
The idea of decision making based on testimonials (opinions) of people
with no real data on problems like flow rates is absurd. The facts
a you have corrosive water. Your plumbing needs to be substantially
resistant to corrosion. CPVC and Pex systems have many years service
in such conditions. Get past the denial, get some quotes, pick the
best company and have them do the job. You'll save money and add value
to your property. HTH
