Agree. It’s a plastic and wood joint- presumably your looking for a long term stable solution. Use what the pros rely on.

Yeah, sadly these types of questions receive all possible answers because there are a bunch of people who have done this once, a good number have done t twice, a few less three to five times and then the very few who do this multiple times a month and have been doing so for years and have to deal with customers shit when their restored playfields have inserts cracking the clear or whatever. All you can do is figure out who you want to take the advice from and seek that out.
There is a thread on playfield restoration by Vid with thousands of posts that has additional insght, maybe read theads by HEP, or other restorers to figure it out. Certainly they could use different glues, and I would rely on any they recommend. I doubt there is a single correct answer and I suspect there are multiple slightly wrong answers that appear to succeed at first but will fail over the long run. That’s how the games were manufactured back in the day and that’s why so many inserts are needing to be fixed so I suppose anything will work for a couple years.... I prefer modern solutions and so use high quality epoxy that bonds plastic and never yellows. I think I started doing this after reading advice from someone with far more experience than I.
One thing for sure- use some glue.
