Type 87 would be good. It uses the same ammo as the UAF's Flakpanzer Gepard.

A small, nagging voice in the corner of my mind wonders if the Ukrainians aren't allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good, in setting up their counterstroke ...

Yes it was designed to fight in that enviornment. The difference though is it was dedigned a half century ago. The threats it will face now are far more deadly.

Aren't both sides currently using equipment designed more than half a century ago?

Trucks? Those aren't Japan-origin combat vehicles. Unless we include the ubiquitous Nissan/Toyota Technical.
Ukrainians fit pickup trucks with grenade launchers
Ukrainian troops are attacking Russians using pickup trucks mounted with US-made automatic grenade launchers, emulating a tactic used by the British SAS.The “Banderamobile”, which can fire 60 rounds per minute, is nicknamed after the Second World War anti-Soviet Ukrainian nationalist leader, Stepan

Which is why the Ukrainians had better get started on their big offensive.
Ukraine could join ranks of ‘frozen’ conflicts, U.S. officials say
How Ukraine could become the next South Korea.www.politico.com
"It's a scenario that may prove the most realistic long-term outcome given that neither Kyiv nor Moscow appear inclined to ever admit defeat. It's also becoming increasingly likely amid the growing sense within the administration that an upcoming Ukrainian counteroffensive won't deal a mortal blow to Russia."
Once this impression starts to take hold in Washington and Brussels the West may transition from active combat support to some more like active deterrence. When this happens, after a Western-encouraged armistice, Ukraine will be required not to make the first move, and therefore unable to ever recover their lost territory. Ukraine must move soon. The West is starting to ask, we gave you the tanks you wanted, the HIMARS you wanted, etc, etc... now where's the counteroffensive?
Ukrainian counteroffensive: What is President Zelenskyy waiting for?
The Ukrainian armed forces still need supplies of equipment and weapons to avoid heavy losses, says President Zelenskyy.

In which the Ukrainians should tell the crafters of that armistice to go pound sand.

It is unlikely that Ukraine will quit fighting short of kicking Russia out of Ukraine, unless they suffer some sort of military collapse and are defeated by Russia. If Russia invaded your home, would you stop?
I do not want to speak for Ukraine, but as I said up-thread, when I see the pictures of the area as it was before the invasion, it reminds me of the area in SW Minnesota where I grew up. The locals (Ukrainians) also remind me of the people I grew up among, including their attitudes. In circumstances similar to what is going on in Ukraine, I would only stop when I am dead (or crippled too badly to fight). I believe this is true of most of the people I grew up with as well.

I'd not rush to sign that contract. You don't want Rheinmetall's overseers in Berlin delaying and messing with you again. Just imagine, Ukraine's production line is just about to finish some tanks, and then some peaceniks in the Reichstag demand that the 120mm gun or some special component must be withheld in order not to annoy Moscow. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..... Instead I'd be following Poland's example and calling up Hyundai Rotem and producing the K2 in Ukraine.... ideally in cooperation with Poland.Rheinmetall looks to sign armored vehicle deal with Ukraine
