I would say that basic availability is ok(except for the egg shortages during the COVID rush), but there are shortages in butter, and in fruits and vegetables around the High Holidays season - and they are already importing a lot of food for it. Also, seasonal fruits appear only in their season(which can be as short as three weeks), and are expensive(look at the price of any berries). Also higher prices is a (market) form of shortage-demand outstrips supply.

I think a lot of these issues are political (whether farmer lobbies or kosher keepers), but yes you're not getting 100% the same availability as if you could import everything but it's mostly fine. And this is in a small, very densely populated & arid country.

If Israel can get 90% of the way there with mostly minor annoyances like what you listed than most countries can probably get even higher (with the drawbacks of higher prices & the rare lack of availability of a non-crucial commodity).

Also keep in mind that the low cost of imports is partially because externalities like pollution are not being accounted for.
