Performing compound movements both basic and difficult for reps in a state of pre exhaustion while trying to be fast about it? I'll pass.

Quote from Charles Poliquin: "If you try to do everything in your workout, you get nothing. CrossFit is different, and maybe even fun for some people, but it's not very effective. No athlete has ever gotten good training like that."

If it works for you, more power to ya. But only advantage I see in crossfit is you become good at doing crossfit. You want functional strength? Try strongman training.
