My old house had copper pipes buried in the concrete floor when it was built in 1970.

In 2017 they leaked, 47 years later.

Will you still own the house in 47 years? Of course not, you're on OOF, you probably won't be alive in 47 years  Bury them and forget about it.

Some poor bastid will remember tales from Gramps about a site where no questions went unanswered and will be jumping up and down when this thread pops up in a search

Denso tape should be just fine then

If only to hold the tiles down

Use Kuterlux plastic coated copper pipe if you have no buried joints, if not wrap it in a couple of layers of PVC tape (cheap and available in decent widths).

I would then add insulation over the top as this will help the heat loss to the slab a bit, even a thin layer will bee better than nothing (assuming there is enough room).
