SameMy whole shop has been re-plumbed with pex and all shark bite fittings. It runs 175 psi line pressure and I have had zero problems for the last 10 years.

One concern in using plastic for compressed air is what happens if the system ruptures. Unlike water under pressure, compressed gas expands as it depressurizes. Loose lines can whip around with possible serious consequences.
You'll soon find out that 3/8" tubing is not big enough for any volume, and the plastic fittings are the weak link.
