With freecad's thickness tool it's easy to run into "brep_api command not done" which comes from opencascade. It might be easier to work around that with Cadquery: in freecad's part design unioning thicknesses takes many more clicks than to thickness the union. The union of Cadquery shells probably works right away, though it probably will leave gaps if the cross section is pic related.
Implicitcad is missing features https://groups.google.com/g/implicitcad/c/LzmJ0hOeLuI particularly to support assembly. The output stls have to be very big. Corners get rounded otherwise. Maybe that's a feature except if you're trying to fit fasteners into the part.
