Is that anchor meant for masonry? I’ve only ever used metal masonry anchors.

Plastic ribbed anchors will work on concrete/brick/masonry (though I assume only solid brick, which is what I have).
The difference is load. One of the charts I linked gives a quite low load rating for plastic anchors compared to metal ones. I think they have incorporated a big safety factor but in any case I am below the load limit.
