Side question.. Can a circular saw with a track system cut the plywood accurate/straight enough or do I definitely need to use a table saw?
Table saws are great if they are large and heavy. I'm talking cabinet saws over your typical DeWalt jobsite machine.

So and yes, a decent track saw with a quality blade is way more than 'good enough'.

And since you are manipulating the saw instead of awkward sheets of plywood, the accuracy is often better unless you have lots of feeder and outfeed support (that takes up a LOT of room). Really, it takes 2 people to do a full sheet on a TS w/o the extensions.

Last sheet I did on the TS I used my wife and roller stands to make it work and I still had to back up the cut once to get back tight to the fence. Since I always cut a bit oversize I was able to trim that piece to perfect.
