I know that it's not the best solution, and that soldering the pipe is the preferred method, BUT...
I just installed a Kohler shower valve for a bath remodel, and used a threaded union to connect hot/cold supply (mostly due to the ability to do most soldering separately and just wrenching the assembly in place, as well as tight quarters). This wall will be covered in the very near future.
While it would be possible to cut it out and solder everything in place, i would rather not do it, and it does not leak at all.
Is there any compelling reason (code, durability) for me to go thru the trouble of changing all of this out?
