I have more terminals to swap in but I'll be replacing the board anyway. The other identical board never did this but I also never tried pushing the limits on that one.
I had an issue I caught early when I swapped my prusa from a Rambo to an skr mini, used the same power wires which didn't have ferrules, I got "lucky" that the power supply shut itself down, one wire had worked itself a bit loose, enough to potentially arc.
I've replaced everything with new 14 awg wire with solid ferrules and I inspect semi regularly, I trust my crimps here but I don't mess around with potential fire hazards. I think there's a tendency to think, oh it's low voltage, it's fine, but there's a lot of energy going through those wires, treat it with the same respect you would mains power. Take your time, double check everything, and invest in good crimping tools.
