I would love to have some proof that AirKrete would last in such an environment . Hopefully one day there will be some good long-term data based on actual home installations in the Houston or Galveston area that show that AirKrete holds up to the vibrations and movement.

If an insulating job is done with expired product the foam will collapse and will end up as a layer of fire brick at the bottom of your empty wall cavities! Maybe this would only happen with an inexperienced installer? I do not know. One thing to be aware of: Part of the AirKrete product, (I guess the foaming agent), has a short shelf life.

My customers heating bill went from 1900/mo to 800/mo. A little moisture will not do anything to the studs, it takes years of moisture to rot wood.
