Unless I'm crazy heat does pass space tiles. It just takes really really insane heat.
The main problem is the hot loop is close to the hallway. As it is now, just a regular fire from a hotloop leak will probably make that hallway too hot to walk without internals. The way the hotloop is and the fact that the combustion chamber is beside a maintenance tunnel which leads the the same hallway means a proper hellburn will probably make it impossible to pass without a firesuit. Lucky thing this hallway leads to medbay, I guess.
It is certainly better than the current setup because you can actually go around it, but it will likely make engineers even more hated and put far more pressure on new engineers to not fuck up even a little. I mean, engineering is already off my list of jobs to suggest to new people. If they run safe engines they get jeered at, if they experiment with the engine they get yelled at, and if they manage to hellburn they get cussed at. Poor guys.
