Busybox commands often don't support all features used to and differ even substantially if you depend on GNU additions. https://www.busybox.net/about.html
I have been keeping a running list of busybox/toybox deficiencies and differences. There are more than I would have expected.
An alternative is to use crunchgen from NetBSD (also included with some of the later BSDs) which crunches full-featured, source tree versions of multiple utilities in a single, static binary. What busybox refers to as a "multi-call" binary.
It will be larger than busybox of course. I get evertyhing I need in a binary less than 5M.
