I would not want a Goku vs Superman any time soon. I would suggest to wait for the end of the Unity and Doomsday Clock arcs, and also for the Morro arc to finish. Maybe around mid 2020 I would want it, but I do not know if it is worth doing now.

Goku's worst enemy is his lack of speed and hax. He is too inconsistent. He has paralysis, hakai, telekinesis, landmind attacks, telepathy, all of these moves that he then proceeds to only use once. Goku has gotten worse than modern Superman when it comes to that stuff. I blame it mostly on Toeii. Toriyama has a fairly solid vision of what DBS is supposed to be (Beerus could destroy the Kaioshin realm, Goku shaking the universe was in both the manga and anime which hints that this was in his original draft, plus the dimensional shattering feat in Brolli), but Toeii needs to fill and pad out everything, and they are what people see.

Goku vs Superman 2 is a strawman obsolete moot point, and Goku vs Superman 1 is a different case because Z was featwise decently consistent and DB just screwed up the research.
