*Update*

On one side of the house where only two pipes need to be run, we solved it by taking out 30mm from the top of the beams, about 1 meter from the support/central wall. No sagging or movement noted at all :)

Wooden floor joists with a section removed for pipe installation, surrounded by sawdust and wood chippings.

Today it's time for the other side, and there we will probably need to reinforce, will return with an update when it's ready!
 
*Update No. 2*

I have started on the second side now and have drilled through some beams entirely without reinforcement so far... now that the holes are there, they look ridiculously small and reinforcement almost feels unnecessary, or what do you think? Holes drilled through wooden beam surrounded by sawdust and scattered paper, showing progress of a DIY building project without reinforcement.

At least it hasn't started to sag or wobble yet ;)

Oh my.
It will be just fine. No reinforcement work needed.
May the force be with your!

P.S.
But how did you manage to drill with such a short regelavstånd?

Yes, it seems to hold :p Electric drill with a spade bit creating holes in a wooden surface, surrounded by wood shavings.

Short stud spacing? cc60, works fine with a drill :)
 
For example, Festool has an angle attachment for their drill. I used one when the central vacuum pipes had to go through 13 beams with CC30. It went surprisingly smoothly. However, you also have to plan how to get the pipe IN afterwards, + it can get really tight if the holes are snug and not exactly aligned.
