I actually assembled the Ryfield sherman tracks for my Tamiya M-51 (will be done very soon)!
And those weren’t a nightmare at all! They assembled very nicely!

It wasn’t that I found them difficult to assemble, just very (or: overly) tedious. They were certainly better than RFM’s Panther tracks, let alone Bronco Sherman tracks.

I’m going to have to deal with the Takom tracks again when I do my Magach 3, not looking forward to that…

Get a set of AFV Club ones, they are much easier to build: all you have to do is slide the end connectors on. Sure, the central connector with the guide tooth will not sit quite right where the track curves around the drive sprocket and idler, but you have to look very closely to notice that.

Great M247 as well! Didn’t even know such a vehicle existed

In general, or in Israeli service? Because it barely did as the former and not at all as the latter IRL, the US Army adopted the M247 in the early 1980s and within a year or so, was made to get rid of them again. The only ways to paint the model as a vehicle that really did exist are as a prototype or in American MERDC camouflage, but I didn’t feel like that so I made the kit into a “what if it wasn’t such a flop and Israel also got them” model.
