We use wire nuts on sml and medium size motors at work all the time with no problems. Also, have u ever hooked up a water heater and tried to fit split bolts in the H20 heater junction box? They dont fit! Ive used wire nuts on every electric water heater I've done and have never had an issue!

Use them all the time, they are faster, neater and more compact than
split bolts, but have seen quite a few of them fail on bigger motors.
If it's more than about 30 amps, I begin to look for other options.
