I wouldn’t recommend using them for more than a couple of chips. They can be finicky to install, and my memory of them is that connection wise they could be a bit flaky.

I think installing the RAM chips in sockets is definitely a good idea though. I don’t know why, but in my experience static RAM chips, particularly early ones like the 2102 and 1101, have a high failure rate.
