ᐅ Should the rigid vinyl flooring in the kitchen be installed continuously throughout the house or not?

Floating floor. We also did that; according to my father-in-law (floor installer), it basically doesn’t matter with vinyl, so we chose the simpler option.

Well, what’s mentioned here isn’t real vinyl, it’s more like laminate and also thicker!

There are different "types" of the Parador Modular One. @Vicky Pedia is probably referring to the version with cork underlay. However, @goalkeeper has the vinyl version. Or is it really just the top layer that’s different? I would also install it throughout; in any case, my kitchen is on click vinyl (from another manufacturer).

No, the structure is actually different, but the total thickness of 10 mm (0.4 inches) is the same. The compressive strength is also roughly equal, so it is definitely comparable to my project. I don’t see any issues placing kitchen units on it. The underfloor heating won’t be affected.

I would strongly recommend following this advice.
My daughter-in-law had a specialist professionally install a floor in her kitchen to ensure everything fit perfectly.
After about 2 years, the floor started to lift, causing unsightly edges.
The same issue occurred with our neighbor and a friend.
In all cases, the problem began after approximately 2 years, specifically in the area of the kitchen cabinets.
We are currently renovating our kitchen as well. We wanted to install a vinyl design floor about 1 cm (0.4 inches) thick.
We were fortunate to meet a trained flooring installer at the Hornbach hardware store who strongly advised against this for the reasons mentioned above.
He recommended the self-adhesive vinyl from Geroflor.
We will be picking that up soon, while stores are still open.

So, what exactly now? Should it sag or not?

Do not sag.
