Can Suspend be good?

I’m getting a little metaphysical with a cube I’m designing called Being and Time. As part of the “Time” component, I’m looking at designing around Suspend and ”time matters” sorts of cards.

I obviously know you can use cascade to cheat out [[Crashing Footfalls]], but can suspend be good outside of this context? I’m looking at cards that give extra upkeeps or remove time counters like [[Paradox Haze]] and [[Rift Elemental]]. Is there a world where these cards helping you resolve a [[Gargadon]] faster are good, since the opponent knows when your spell is going to resolve?

Crucially, my plan for the cube is that counterspells aren’t really a thing outside of permanent-based solutions (e.g., [[Voidmage Apprentice]]. And the power level overall should be pretty mid. If you have run Suspend or anything messing with time counters in your cubes, what have you done to try and make them good?
