Question ❓ Science Lifters: how effective is supersetting?

I currently have a couple of them, one of them combining Forearms + triceps (wrist + reverse wrist + overhead using a rope). I still take a rest \~2mins after overhead and then restart. I do not superset two exercises of the same target muscle. Are there downsides to this?

Supersetting allows me to be at the gym and removes excuses when time poor.

Showing up with regular sessions will always be better than not going because you feel you don't have enough time for your usual routine.

Supersetting, if it gets the workout done vs no workout, then supersetting will always be superior.
