It's all in the gearing. If you just add another gear after 5th, yeah, of course it will suck. A second, deeper overdrive is pointless in any inline four.
Now, if gears one though four where shortened, fifth was a direct drive, and 6th was the overdrive, that would be a sweet transaxle. You'd be shifting gears every five seconds, but it would still be fun.
