Well.... experts (aka other posters) claim that soldering is the entire problem. Those connectors are supposed to be crimp only. But if you solder then the solder wicks up the wire making it stiffer and giving it a smaller area where it can flex.
If you *do* end up soldering, then you should use the strain relief well. I put a blob of hot glue gun to connect my temperature wires to the strain relief. I don't know if that was a good idea or not.

I agree, a more robust connector should be used instead of the JST. This is a very obnoxious problem that is also a very easy problem to solve at the time of manufacture. I may just solder mine when my second set of connectors starts to become loose.
