There's some disagreement (check the links for minutiae), but whether it's slightly positive or negative, this system is in no way a factory. Given the time involved you can't use it to generate Iso in a meaningful way, even under the rosiest of scenarios. But, I believe it is still game-positive - ie, the reward you get will progress your roster faster than if you didn't do it.

Once I get another cover for her, I'll sell the champed version and apply it to Thing. I'll re-roster Ms. Marvel with the new cover. I know I'll eventually have pay back that 65k ISO with interest (7,779 ISO), but it's worth it since I'd never be able to champ certain 4*s in time before their extra covers expire otherwise. All of the other side benefits of cycling (3* covers, HP, tokens) are just gravy.
