I'd look at reviews, maybe see if Americas test kitchen has done a guide
Anything decent should hold up long term, I think you've just found some crappy ice cube trays

This one seems like the style you're talking about and has better reviews than just about anything else I see on amazon. How much you trust those reviews is up in the air, but it does look like a fairly foolproof, classic style of icemaker as long as it's not flimsy, and the reviews don't seem to suggest that's an issue 🤷♂️
It certainly seems like it should be simple to find a good one. It feels like we perfected the technology ages ago and then for some reason no one kept making the good ones. XD
That listing looks like it might be good at face value but it also seems potentially suspicious. I'll probably see if I can find third party reviews of it to double check (compared to the Amazon reviews that are easier to spoof).
A person just replied to me to say they bought them and shared some thoughts, it sounds like they're very happy with them, thought I'd let you know since you won't get a notification for that message :)
