I’d weld some covers onto the ends if it were me, just for aesthetics. Inch box is a couple of quid for a 6m length, so if your only having to replace once every 10-20 years I really wouldn’t be bothered about potentially trapping water inside. Just apply under seal, stone chip etc to the areas most at risk and reapply every other year. No reason why it shouldn’t last another 20 years

For reference, 25mm x 1.5mm is cheaper than the imperial equivalent, but 25mm comes in at about £2 per meter
