Hi Steve,
Downhole drilling electronics sees the most severe operational loading of any
ellectronic assemblies. Design this stuff as robust as possible with the
least CTE-mismatch as possible, and be careful with the encapsulant material
chosen.
Vapor phase soldering is a good idea; but, is there nothing between 253 and
215C?
Good luck!
