I would vote yes.
You have a good selection of exercises and the upper/lower is a good split to follow.
I don't know if you want to do SLDL after deadlifts, might wanna sub Leg Curls for that (or GHR)
Progression is up to you, you can just increase the weight once you are comfortable with what you are doing or go up by reps then drop down the reps and up the weight.
Depends on your goals (which are what, btw?)

Thanks for your input
This is not my routine, I found it on bodybuilding, the SLDL was originally a dumbell workout but i only have a barbell, power rack and a 300lb set so i replaced that exercise to a SLDL (it was originally HAM string curl) any suggestions on what I should change it to? (Cant do GHR or leg curls) or should i just do calf raises before the SLDl?
oh yea do you know any good alternative to HAM string curl since i got a barbell only

This is almost identical to my very first routine. I did a 12 week bulk i found on the site years back. It was also an upper and lower split.
Anyways. it worked wonders. Not only did i gain size. But strength went through the roof. I would reccomend this plan, and similiar one to everyone.*Currently looking for a sponsor!*

You can probably quite easily do a GHR with just a barbell.
Weight on barbell - make sure it's stable, make sure you have some sort of mat - go at it. GHR will be better than SDL, considering your lower back will be quite exhausted already.
For progression, yeah, you could do AllPros style. Imo it doesn't matter too much, as long as it's tracked, stable and good progression - you will do well. Make sure to write down your progress.
I would obviously not do 10% jumps (like AllPros) on heavy lifts, but that depends on what stage you are at. If your squat is (just as an example) - 1.6x BW, jump in 2.5-5kg
