Re ringing and doing valves are things that an air cooled engine may

So the diesel is liquid cooled?

It's liquid cooled, so no discussion about shock cooling anymore.

So we prevent a problem that isn't really a problem.


It's fully FADEC controlled, so no overheating possible.

Automobile engines have been digitally controlled for two decades and
they still can overheat.


It's geared, so a prop strike doesn't affect the engine.

The engine still stops suddenly unless the gearbox fails or is designed
to fail before any significant acceleration is transferred to the engine.


It's fully FADEC controlled, so always best prop pitch to the chosen
power setting.

Yes, that is a nice advantage.
