Sure, suite yourself. I happened to see soldering job done by some radio amateures, especially on a wires that are not really suitable for hand soldering (like cheap headphones). For most of them, adapte r is the way to go, just safer. If you plug it once and leave it be on back side of the rig, it will not be "potentially" intermittent.

I'd solder on a connector any day.
I don't want the potential intermittent connection of a poorly made adapter.
Maybe you don't either.
Not to mention the mechanical stress on the jack from a bunch of weighty
connectors. The fewer connections between A and B, the better.
