What could go wrong with a can / canister ?

Provided it is installed, plumbed and used correctly then nothing should go wrong.

Ive never had any problems.

I left the PCV in to let it do its job and plummed the other breather into the catch can, then back into inlet next to the charcoal cannister outlet line.
The inlet has never been oily!

I think you'll find that is the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) breather.

What about using an "oil - air separator" as one made by "smc" (pneumatic item) similar to whats used on an air compressor system, but go for a 1/2" or 3/4" inlet and outlet...
Generally smaller than an a traditional "catchcan" comes with own drain and can vent straight to atmosphere....... simple yet effective....
I use one, have done for years

Also illegal to have venting to atmosphere.

oops.. didnt know that
plumb the outlet of the oil/ air separator back into the charcoal cannister..
point is the oil mist is filtered out of the air completely... its designed to do so...
