Short and to the point. I can't argue with any of this.

Underground heat pipes would be nice.

This problem can be solved with underground heat pipes but also with underground rails :-)

But yes, I do agree with you that underground heat pipes would be nice.

I would say even better would be just pipes that can overlap with belts, pipes and rails.

+1
Heat pipes should be buried for better isolation to begin with.

+1 ping for 2.0, as well as a general nuclear/heat overhaul would be neat.

Everything except heat pipes can now gett off the ground layer.

I quite like that you can't use underground pipe flow boosting with heat, personally.

Yeah, rails are now capable of elevation, so the original reason for the request is outdated.

Ultimately, it wouldn't bother me if undergrounds were added, but I lean more towards not wanting, as this does leave some potential logistic puzzles in there.
