Sabahensis seem to do best in VERY low brackish, potentially even fresh in some experiences - so lighter brackish than even where people keep F8's, so they'd be better suited to fresh-brackish setting than brackish-salt setting.

Two examples of mature puffers are in a community tank and doing well, not nipping other fish. The problem is GETTING these puffers.
