Fantastic workout! I like the term "chipper style." It's a great way to "trick" the mind and body to perform a high volume of reps, which like you mention is key to making gains with bodyweight exercises. I like to incorporate what I call "pyramid" burpees and/or push ups as a finisher. It's a great way to hammer out hundreds of push ups without really focusing on the total number of reps. Somehow that makes it more doable/less of a chore.
Pyramids are also awesome! I sometimes will build instead of chip away so 2-4-6-8-10-12 for example. What I like about the chipper though is people usually hold form better so we can get good volume despite high fatigue with clean reps.

That's a good point. I think I'll switch to the chipper when training my beginners.
Try both but especially I feel like when they tend to get sloppy as fatigue sets in it can help.
