More planeswalkers than that will likely trigger warning bells, especially Tezzeret alongside Rings of Brighthearth, Basalt Monolith, and The Chain Veil. I'd still include these cards, mind, but they're likely to let the table know you are a superfriends infinite durdle deck and not a funny politics deck with a few 'walkers. You can combat this with pillowfort cards (Sphere of Safety, Norn's Annex) and sweepers (especially sweepers that don't hit 'walkers) but rapidly you start losing the thread of "I'm secretly a Politics deck". Any way to tutor for those 'walkers (Call the Gatewatch, Deploy the Gatewatch, Captain Sisay, Arena Rector) is also likely to arouse suspicion.
I guess that's my contention - Estrid Superfriends feels natural and fun, but building it in such a way that the politics are a focus and the superfriends are a surprise win-con feels really hard to do.
