Havent really tried it though since it would take extra work//amount of time to work up to the final warm up set which actually exceeds the weight of the working set...

Yes bro, CNS potentiation is exactly why I do it.
You can only really use it if you're doing more than 5 reps per set. Otherwise, it's hard to overshoot the working weight enough without causing fatigue.
If you're doing less than 5 reps per set, I'd recommend the supramaximal hold protocol you mentioned.
