but I will have to plane my strips down to 4mm)

I don't think you can safely plane down strips in most power thickness planers - in my experience the strip 'vibrates' between the hold-down rollers and can 'explode' . (You may 'get lucky, though....just be careful...) Abrasive planers (thickness sanders) -which can be improvised- are a safe (but possibly dusty) alternative. Though I haven't tried it, I think some router jigs can be safe but tedious if you have a lot of strips to thickness.

the thing that pushes me to beads & coves is the easiness to fit strips between each other, they will follow each one easily, while with no b&c I wonder how you force strips to stay in line relatively to each other, could be a hassle to sand if some strips are higher or lower than the others, no?

Yes, the 'lock together' feature is the advantage of B&C strips. (Do a search here via google: 'bead cove site:kayakforum.com' and you will get lots of info on the advantages and disadvantages...)
I'd use B&C on a canoe, still, but I don't use them on kayak projects very much....though I still have B&C strips in the racks, so may use them in the next boat....
