Good ideas, including to reroute the lines to make future maintenance easier.
I ended up buying this:

MECCANIXITY Silicone Tubing Hose 2mm ID 4mm OD 8ft Red High Temperature for Water Hose Air Tube

When I received it I found it a bit soft so would like to test it before replacing all the lines. I will try to find a place where I can test this silicone line and where I can easily replace it if it collapses.
