I do not worry about your slab.

My comment relates to the significant thermal variation in a two inch slab that will result from 12" PEX spacing.

If you are interested in a very high efficiency floor, you should reduce the spacing.

At your age, efficiency will never pay for itself, unless you take into consideration benefit to subsequent owners.

P.S.: Don't whine about your age... I'm older than you.
