Well, sort of. The crimps should be mechanically strong enough not to
need any additional support, if they do then you've not done it right.
Tape isn't required, and will not add anything to the connection other
than tape!

True. I was thinking that a length of sheathed cable is fairly stiff.
If you remove the sheathing you reduce it's stiffness at that point.
So, three unsheathed insulated conductors are more flexible than 3 in an
overall sheath. Any opportunity for flexing will, probably occur at the
unsheathed section, or have most effect at the unsheathed section. Is
that not possible? Taping up the unsheathed section might restore some
of the stiffness?
