Whether to split Passé Composé “a été” to insert the adverbial phrase “pour ainsi dire”?

I think it is stylistically better to use your first proposition :

Il a pour ainsi dire été catapulté dans le monde de l’art.

The reason why I think that is it avoids the hiatus (succession of two vowels) created by “a été” that is often disliked.
I believe most people would say it sounds better because of this.
