My problem with the 8P and some other later Simpsons is those stupid

Only on extra low voltage, I hope? ;-)

Extra low? Never had a standard banana type arc or cause a problem this
way, and used them up to at least several hundred volts. The Simpsons used
them from the 3 series until the 7 series, IIRC.

Website specs would suggest that fully insulated ones are good to 3.5kV RMS
minimum. I have a pair on the end of a cable feeding HT of around 2kV to a
144MHz tube based linear, and they have never given me any problems.
