I'm about to get me proper industrial quick disconnects (the hard part is the disconnecting, not the connecting, as otherwise a simple valve on each end and a screwed fitting would suffice) for my workstation, so that I can put a large radiator outside of my room and still have an easy-to-carry system when I need to be somewhere else and have a proper computer. It's just no longer silent at that point.
These quick disconnects are polymer, but that's in large part due to corrosion resistance. They are also rated to ~8 Bar and also vacuum, if one would use the latter.
Also, for flexible tubing, compression fittings don't seem like such a bad idea. Yes, don't use them for rigid pipes (PEX counts there, for connecting purposes), but the only thing better than squishing the hose into a seal-barb seems to be welding the hose to the connector...
