Are trigger (quick) clamps strong enough for glue-ups?

Reviewers are split. Higher-end trigger clamps like the Bessey EHK earn praise in r/woodworking and r/Tools for resisting bar flex and delivering more usable pressure, but multiple high-trust threads caution that trigger clamps in general are better as a 'second set of hands' than for maximum clamping force. For demanding glue-ups, parallel-jaw or F-style clamps are the consensus choice.
