I've been trying it out recently to some degree of success, finding the right intervals was the hard part, 25-5 feels like absolute torture to me.

Is anyone else giving it ago?

Use it for tasks you tend to put off and don't use it for tasks you tend to hyperfocus.

Right now I mostly use it for boring time-consuming chores, otherwise I don't bother.

I will hyperfocus when I am coding at work, so I never use it then

I use it sometimes to make sure I stop a hyperfocus I don't want to have. Of course I generally then ignore the alarm but sometimes it helps!
