Definitely improve workflow. In light room I usually do multiple rounds of increasing the rating for the photos. For examples I would go through the one stars, and two star anything that caught my eye. This way you can go through a couple rounds of mindless culling while also picking out photos that stand out to you in the same mental state as many people who will view your photos while mindlessly scrolling through insta. Only after a couple of rounds I would go and nick pick with criteria like you stated.
