There isn't enough clearance between the teeth and spacers to use some chains. No such problems with the SunRace.
I actually "warped" the mega sprocket on one trying to shift under load.

My observation of Sun Race freewheels is that the sprockets seem to wear out rather quickly when compared to vintage freewheel sprockets. Possibly the metal is softer?
