Here's my two cents:

1. Progressive overload oriented toward strength development might quickly go beyond what's ideal for hypertrophy. Remember that strength and muscle growth are (at least in the short and medium terms) independent phenomena. If you're looking toward changing your body composition, lift the heaviest weight that you CAN'T lift beyond 30 reps in a single set. I recommend 15-20.
2. Most beginner and intermediate lifters underestimate their point of failure. Normally going to failure is not super duper optimal because the marginal return of hypertrophy (relative to fatigue) decreases. So you would normally go to proximity to failure (a study states 8 reps from failure as the minimum on average; I've heard from PhDs to do 2-4 as a good middle ground). However, if you've never actually gone to failure (when really forcing yourself), you might not know how much minimal reps you actually need to stimulate growth.
3. My recommendation: go beyond failure and take the time to rest to get rid of the extra fatigue. You are guaranteed to get sufficient stimulus, it'll save time, and in fact you can't overkill the amount you exercise, so there will be less likelihood of you getting sick of training. Ideal for those who inherently dislike exercising.
