With shower trays, you also have the same joint

Only that with shower trays the joint is not "standing in water" because it is positioned higher. In tiled shower areas, water sometimes stands at these joints (at the rear joint near the drain it probably always does).

With the shower tray, only the water running down the wall "stands" there. The actual water does not stand at these joints.

So worst case the joint cracks. What is supposed to happen then? Behind it is a sealing tape 5-10cm up the wall and a double layer of sealing slurry. The water does not get through by a single millimeter. Even if you don't repair the joint, absolutely nothing should happen. Of course, the joint should be redone.

Concerns from my point of view completely unfounded..

I had already asked above. What is your solution/alternative for that, which elsewhere is not seen as a problem?

Just take a shower tray if that makes you feel more comfortable. Where is the problem?

standing or sitting in the freestanding bathtub showering, no silicone and you can wipe everything dry or ventilate afterwards
