Default Thought on self watering planters (SIP) Yes – No?

Anyone recommend or against using self-watering planters
Plan was to pot up 2 banana plants that are in 14” pots to 18” pots
When adding more soil, the plan is to use PRO-MIX Organic Vegetable & Herb Mix (what I have on hand) and then add 30% perlite to it.
However, on the bottom of pot in the SIP area the plan was to add a 15% vermiculite to the mix for wicking and add about 1.5”-2” of soil at the bottom only.

I haven't used a SIP yet and have 2 of them on hand...

Thoughts?
