Define a "modern" chain. I've been installing new 1/8" chains by splicing extra links by pushing pins back in for years as necessary to make the too short $6 Walmart chains fit on my various IGH bikes, as well as instead of using master links. Never had a chain fail. Maybe by "modern" you mean the expensive 3/32" chains used on expensive bikes.
