Pop rivets comes loose from vibration. I often see riveted tread plates on tow bars which are loose because the rivets came loose. Then the tread plate vibrates and rub off the paint.
But yes, as you say, if you sika it it is difficult to get off again.

Question; Why don't you just Sikaflex the tred plates after painting. It is as strong as pop rivets, if not stronger, and you have zero holes to drill.
