Default TO247 transistor collector-heatsink

I'm interested in hearing your opinion on using TO247 transistors. The heatsink plate is labelled as the collector, like many tab-type packages.

Is is acceptable to use the tab as the only collector connection? Is the tab-to-heatsink connection likely to be adequate? After all, it is designed to be in very good thermal contact with a flat surface.
