The problem is that with a pipeburn pressure will always increase. The pipes will burst and even IF you spend all shift fixing the pipes the burn will still die as the pipes will burst immediately after being fixed, making fixing the pipes in anyway completely impractial unless you have 5 people welding at all times.
The increase in gas expelled also makes the engine and surrounding areas more dangerous as more gas leaks out of the engine room. And due to the nature of a pipeburn, once the pipes start bursting there is no way to stop them from bursting, and pressure decrease will outpace growth making getting numbers higher than GW impractial. Another issue I have with the PR is that the more pipes an engine room has the harder it is to do a burn as exponetially more gas escapes.
In general it just makes burns harder to do and gives less incentive for engineers to even bother with a high level burn since it will die anyway, why bother? just throw plasma and char and go about your day.
