That's what steered me towards the yorlok and swagelok style fittings like I linked above before I ultimately just went with PTFE lined braided hose. I know for a fact the yorlok and swagelok fittings hold tight on stainless as we use them with stainless tubing in high pressure tester applications where I work.

I have used them on 3/8 stainless and I can tell you from experience that the ferrule is on there to stay. At least they hold a whole lot better than those Russell AN to GM fuel rail adaptors...
As I said not the most elegant solution but flaring 1/2 inch stainless is something that I can't image being all that easy to do depending on the flaring tool you have.
Your fittings were $30 each if I read it correctly. That gives me a little heartburn...
