ᐅ Insulating plastic fittings/water pipes and underfloor heating under the screed?

Hello,
as shown in the two photos, the hot and cold water pipes are insulated. The plumber says the fittings (connectors) do not need to be insulated because they are made of plastic. Is this correct, or could this cause problems regarding thermal insulation, condensation, or noise?
The pipes are located under the screed, meaning there will be polystyrene insulation and a self-leveling screed on top.
The plumber suggests he could wrap fleece over them, but says it is not necessary. What is your opinion?
Best regards, Andreas

Are you aware that the screed is insulated?
Interested in how you evaluate a slope like this? Also, this is not a 100mm (4 inches) soil pipe, so you can actually have a steeper slope...
