Can’t find it at the moment, but I definitely ended up on a few “how to” pages that recommended solder the two together then wire nut over the bond to make sure the stranded didn’t pull free. I obviously didn’t do much further research, or I would have run into wago’s!

Soldering is a great way to make an electrical connection but unfortunately it doesn't make a good mechanical one. This is why you shouldn't twist wires together in-line. You should twist them together and then fold the twist over. Much more mechanically strong even if it doesn't look as pretty.
