Most real plumbers would disagree.
Looking at the mechanical design, yes this is an improvement over the original installation.

Looking at the alternative for installing a brass fitting on a PVC pipe, the Sharkbite looks to have a better chance of success.

Looking at the number of post noting successful installations compared to the number mentioning problems, the Sharbite seems to be reliable.
