One thing to consider is that failure sets won't always be productive. Eventually, as you progress, alternations between RE and Submaximal effort are a must. I used to train low sets to failure religiously. When I dropped that mentality and started moving more towards alternating volume/magnitude and exercise complexes, I have made continual improvements (albeit small) over the last 7 years of training.

Why I do an AGS-10 workout. Inspired by Yates, but not exact. Basically few sets of 100% max load rest pause to failure, but I end with a German volume training 10x10 or 1 set of 30 reps.
I firmly believe that going to failure on everything and doing it consistently will cause overtraining in most individuals. If you do choose to train this way, the overall volume included in your training program needs to be lowered substantially. Many proponents of training to complete failure also suggest very low training volumes, including the aforementioned Dorian Yates.
