i'm gonna have to throw in my agreement here; substitute and toxic do completely different things for cruel but the sets still aren't all that different. also toxic spikes really suck right now and the number of teams that can benefit notably from their usage is, in my experience, quite low - i tend to use protect/toxic on my occasional weatherless cruels, and always subtox in rain (cause FUK FERRO). i haven't run tspikes in eons and i don't think i'm about to start running them now lol

i guess it boils down to how long the analysis will be if the sets are merged - they don't play completely the same way, and giving each one its own paragraph under a single set might be a bit unrealistic, so perhaps it's more efficient to keep them separate. but the similarity of the sets is definitely significant
