Using it for legal disputes is poor form. We had legal disputes before,
and managed them with "office actions". If you don't trust the admins
not to purposefully post libel or copyvios, then super-protecting a
page or two won't help.
Moreover it implies that the Foundation can or will take action in these
matters to override the community, which opens them up to charges of
discrimination, favouritism, nepotism, cowardice, corruption or at least
stupidity.

Yes. It was used a few months ago to prevent editing the Germany item
on Wikidata due to a very serious breaking issue. Also on several
pages following legal disputes. Superprotect in my opinion if used
correctly is an essential tool which can prevent legal and technical
issues that can in theory cause wide disruption. John
