We transfer thousands of these tapes a year, I can absolutely assure you that the most critical component here is a good quality adaptor.
We use the Panasonic VW-TCA7E adaptors with the metal base plate, the JVC ones are a bit mediocre and I've not come across anything of comparable quality of consistency in operation. The Panasonic adaptors aren't especially cheap but we have some that see daily use and their decades-old so worth paying for.
Don't go for a cheap 'n' cheerful special from Bezos' mob, been there - tried that.
