Epoxy sealers do not cure "rock hard" they actually remain somewhat flexible and the layer is very thin.
The only time I would be concerned about the flexibility vs the tank would be in a crash situation where the tank surface could change drastically. I'd assume failure of the liner in that situation. The good news is that the same procedure can be re-done if the liner develops a split or crack, and coated over. Epoxy is an adhesive and will stick to itself without much issue. You would just need to evaluate the damage and might find a tank replacement is warranted anyhow.

I don't know your laws, here the lawsuit could have progressed to a better solution but as you might imagine, the attorneys running it aren't really interested in a solution, they just want to get paid.
