Is there any benefit of actual overhead tricep movement, as opposed to just working the long head upright with other movements?

Really can't seem to google up the answer I'm looking for exactly. I constantly do reverse curls, dips, and push downs. I know I'm getting plenty of long head work, but after 4 years of training I've yet to find an overhead movement that actually activates my long head better than any of those options or just outright feels comfortable.

Skull crushers are decent but incomparable to the previously mentioned, for me at least. Overhead cable work feels awkward no matter how many times I revisit it with a rope or single hand grip, and likewise with overhead DB extensions. All of them always feel awkward and are lackluster in activation for me.

Is there really any reason to revisit overhead work here, or any recommendations from people that were in a similar boat?
