Minimalist SE Clusters?

Anyone try this yet?

I'm thinking of something like this for any upcoming SE days (either one-off tango sessions, and maybe for my next Base):

Push-ups
Pull-ups
Goblet Squats

Thoughts, experiences?

I've been thinking of S&S with possible addition of pull-ups.

Or for more standard SE cluster version:

Inverted rows
Push-ups
Reverse lunges
Plank to side transfers

Thoughts:

If MS cluster is:

Bench
Squat
Pull Up

Then i would do a different movement for the SE cluster, eg:

DB/KB Press
DB/KB Swing/Clean/Snatch
Bodyweight/Renegade Row

For SE workouts, I think some of the best protocols without need to reinvent the wheel are just to take some of the Crossfit Sister workouts:

Barbara: 5 rounds of 20 pullups, 30 pushups, 40 situps, 50 squats, 3min rest.
OR
Chelsea: 30 x EMOM of 5 pullups, 10 pushups, 15 squats.

If you can't do it RX, it's fine to scale down the number of pullups, or not do it EMOM, etc.

They are about as minimalist as you get as well.
