Even if it was insulated, you don't want warm water standing in pipes for a long time. This is usually solved by adding a pipe from the farthest point back to the boiler and circulation pump.

Which also has the nice property that the water in the pipes is always warm. You get a hot shower almost instantly.

Huh, hadn't considered that, but yeah, that would definitely be a health risk. Thank you!
