I've tried it. The drawback is that you need exponentially more time in each the better you get.
You'll end up needing to excercise 8 hours c'mon you gotta eat big to get big if you do both and get good at them.
If you're a pro athlete, there are no drawbacks because working out is already your job.

look up Tyson Edwards, and Lachlan Walker. Ive tried it, but it's too CNS draining, for now im just doing Squats, Deadlifts, and Power Snatches.

Gymnastics don't work if you have a trained lower body. Everything about Gymnastics and calisthenics benefits from a high upper to lower body ratio.
It's the ultimate #no-legs meme
Just do some hyperthrophy after WL for upper body and done
the drawback is you spend waay too much time training and the recovery is not that optimal
could be easily done if you hop on some roids and have nothing else to do

Not true. The lower body is trained, it's just the focus is on strength while trying to avoid any hypertrophy.

Your crippling retardation.

Plus OHP and facepulls to be quite honest (tbqh)
id just condense your goals and alternate 3-4 times a week
like
A
gymnastic stuff
planche
front lever
human flag
manna
one arm chinup
handstand pushup
pistol squat
B
back squat
Deadlift
press/bench
calf raises

technically youre getting the fullbody workout each time but one is inclined towards your upper body and one towards your lower body
or you could do ABxABxx
Sure OP. Do what you want. But you probably won't make as good gains as you'd hope.
Personally, I'd just do a regular Oly lifting program and then once or twice a week (maybe on a short lifting session where you're e.g. just maxing out and leaving quick) do some upper body bodybuilding work.
e.g. Bench press 3-4x6-8
Row 3-4x6-8
OHP 2-3x10-12
Pulldown/Chinup 2-3x10-12
Biceps/Triceps 1-2x12-15
Superset them all, be quick, then get the fuck out of the gym, go home and eat.
If gymnastics is a goal, do it too then.

Shut up.
