No,
if you remeber the environment of the 360/370 systems was strictly
controlled to avoid thermal stress and pollution.

Personally in  the early '70 have worked on systems with ten year of
operation, without any problems related to the wrapping.

My experience say that the wire wrap is more reliable.
