I started doing them during lockdown. I'm now on a Greg Nuckols plan that prescribes a few sets to failure on CGBP day, so it works out.
Nuckols like to mix up rep ranges in his training plans, starting with low(ish) reps for work sets, of course. That's where strength gains come in. Higher rep stuff comes after, if on the same muscle group. In this instance, doing something for fewer than 10 reps would just be another low rep exercise, which is fine but is not what is being sought in the programming. And, if it were, I'd probably just do a JM press or something like that.
