"I'm just afraid that it will spread, for example, under the impact sound insulation."
Moisture can run into the joints, yes. But if that is not a permanent condition, it will dry out again without damage. I don't see any dramatic disadvantage regarding the floating floor.
"If one ever has to replace a plank because, for example, the top layer comes loose, etc., isn't that easier with glued flooring?"
"Replacing a plank" hardly ever happens, according to my experience. Technically, I think both are not easy, glued or floating... doesn't matter...
Personally, the surface treatment seems more important to me: oiled or lacquered?
Lacquered material looks cleaner in the first years than oiled (because almost no dirt sticks), but once the first scratches occur, it looks noticeably worse (because stains cannot be removed like with oiled material)... and scratches will happen eventually...
