Best practices for System Usability Scale (SUS) Scoring

My UX team has always utilized SUS Scoring after our usability tests.

We work with Student Information System Software and after testing a new feature, we follow up with a SUS Scoring survey.

The areas we target within the SUS scoring survey are:

  • Sufficiency
  • Ease of Use
  • Confidence
  • Performance
  • Reliability
  • Design Appeal
  • Overall Satisfaction

I just watched a video on (UIE's All You Can Learn) that mentions not to bulk up your tests with SUS Scoring, but there wasn't much detail to why. I tried to do some Google searches to see if I could find some quick answers of when to use them vs. not and I didn't find much.

Does anyone in this community have some good insight on this topic?
