How much "float" is there to it? Brings back bad memories of everyone's early 2000s laminate installs.
The click joints are rubber and extremely tight. You need to use an offset tool and a rubber mallet (striking quite hard) to actually get the joints together. Water can't get through.

Your subfloor needs to be pretty smooth. But the floor simply sits on top of your subfloor. It can move slightly with expansion and contraction, but it's not going to move. The product is thick enough and stiff enough that they are always going to lie flat.
