First, the argument "many people do it" means nothing. Many people do drugs, many people don't like pineapple on pizza,... I know it is not forbidden, but that doesn't mean it's good thing. And i don't despise side decks, because i don't use one, but i don't use one because i have several reasons to despise them. First, the mentioned limited use against unknown decks, second, i see it in a similar way as hate cards (that does NOT mean cards in a sidedeck are generally hate cards). You put cards in your deck for the sole purpose to deal with a specific opponent and that's something i can not appreciate.

As for your other points, even if reduced, it still can deal 6 damage. The gauge costs are high, but not impossible, and i would rather go for the either/or option as described above. The searchability is a point, but that was barely an issue for the Balle/Dragonforce combo, why should it be here? And yes, the soul can be removed, which is probably the greatest weakness of this card, but even without overthrow, it is a 2 crit double attack item with soulguard for 1 gauge, which is still pretty good. Also, the soul remove option does not result in gauge costs for overthrow due to timing (see above).
