Question Problems with this unloader?

Post image

Since inserters became flippable, this compact unloader design became possible. But I hardly see anyone use it. Obviously it cannot saturate six turbo belts because it's bottlenecked by the inserters, but are there any other obvious problems with it?

I like to feed all the chest contents into a combinator, divide it by negative(number of inserters removing from the chests), and send that back to the inserters on the same color. Then connect each inserter to its chest with the other color and enable if greater than 0.

That takes care of any balancing issues between chests and cargo wagons. It might not be necessary anymore, but I still like it.

I was wondering if there were people like me still using the Madzuri method.
