Why would it be inefficient? This claim needs backup, because I experience the opposite.

It depends on your use case, and how you have your keys and layers mapped.

Back when I used a 60% and was working in a physical office, I had mapped arrows to Fn + [i, j, k, l]. This allowed me to barely move my right hand, at the cost of holding some other key with my left pinky. Overall, my wrists barely had to move.
