How is this a problem with end cuts? Just how much splintering are you
going to get that won't be hidden by the base and quarter round or
transitional T-pieces or nosing at the perimeter of the job?

That won't help in the centre of the floor. It's not like all sections that
run the entire length of the room, there's bound to be quite a few end cuts
spaced all over the place.

Uh, the ends of the boards in engineered flooring have the same joints
as the long edges. There is absolutely no reason to have end cuts
anywhere but at the edges, at a doorway, or around a register. In all
cases, the end cuts, splintered or otherwise, will be covered by
something--trim, transition strip, register.
