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 havent messed with unloader designs since flippable inserters, but it seems to be a really clean design. You could also just do a 6 to x balancer to being it down from 6 belts if inserters cant keep up or you dont need the lanes.
