Nothing wrong with crimps.


But is there anything wrong with bullet connectors, not good to allow
the earth to be disconnected easily, separate to the other conductors?


No No and three times No!. Bullet connectors are not to be used on Earth
systems.


Unless you put isolating switches on both sides of the connectors,
thus preventing a risk of shock when breaking the earth circuit ;-).

Crimped with a good ratchet crimper and decent crimps are just fine as
good as cold welding ...
