As long as the wires are not being flexed and twisted like they would be on a Multi meter or test leads then normal wire is fine. High flex silicon wire in 14awg will have a strand count in the region of 500 which is what gives it it's flexibility and durability.
The insulation will probably have a low melting point relative to silicon coated wire and it won't feel or look as nice. For what you want to use it for though it will be fine.

Copper wire with less strands than what you get in silicone wire won't carry as high a current either because there's less area of wire due to the larger strands not packing together so tightly.
