28 sets. 28. Why.

This is too much sets to failure, too much volume per muscle group if you are training everything to failure, too much sets overall.
You are only doing 2 sets for lats and traps, and 6 whole sets for biceps.
By the end of the workout you will be either so gassed out or fatigued that last 4-6 exercises will be affected by fatigue greatly.

Give me a better one, failure is nice for muscle growth I don't wanna do useless reps

Failure is nice for muscle growth but it's way too much failure in a single training session. You will not recover from 5 sets to failure for the next session. Failure also creates a lot of muscle damage compared to 1RIR, for a little bit of benefit.
Leave alone supraspinal CNS fatigue that you will build from so many sets to failure.

Just cut down the intensity or amount of sets. 5 sets per muscle group per session in UL is fine, but they shouldn't all be to failure.

5 sets per muscle group per workout (accounting for the "indirect stimulus), 1-2RIR, low reps, don't chase the stretch, don't do super slow eccentrics.
If you want to do high reps - cut down to 4 sets per muscle group per workout.
High reps bring a lot of muscle damage, they are probably the biggest muscle damage cause.

So for example
Chest - 5 sets
Shoulders - if you've done mostly chest compounds then do 3 sets for mid delts, if you've done mostly chest isolation then do 4 sets for mid and front delts (shoulder press)
Lats - 4 sets
Traps - 4 sets (rear delts get plenty of work in any horizontal row)
Biceps - 2 sets (because you've already done back compoumds)
Triceps - 2 sets (same as biceps)
This is 20-21 sets. I would even cut down 1 set of chest tbh because chest gets damaged very easily.
By the way vertical shrugs are kinda useless unless you want specifically bigger upper traps, but not other traps regions. A kelso shrug will give you around the same amount of muscle growth for upper traps but will also train other traps regions.

That is if you want to do UL. I recommend looking into FB training tho.
