The US Sherman tank was suboptimal as a tank on purpose. It was too tall, which kept it narrow enough that it fit through standard railroad tunnels. It was too light, more armor would have been nice, but that meant it could be loaded by the size crane most docks have.

Similar constraints might happen for TL9 tanks.
