Do Thrusters and Tracks work together

According to the wiki:
In most cases, tank tracks should not be paired with any other movement type other than walker legs; their immense weight means that all other movement types will be severely overburdened, which decreases their top speed and renders the usage of them pointless.
But does this include thrusters?
Thrusters pointing down (to lift) will be a bad combo, as anything with treads will be too heavy to "thruster jump"
Thursters pointing up, (to push down) is likely redunant, this is normally useful to increase your weight and your traction, but tracks have plenty of both.
This leaves:
Sideways pointing thrusters, for turning faster
Forward/backwards pointing thrusters for speed
Do these work?
