not every Catholic couple is able to effectively manage the process of homeschooling their children. 

They can if they try.
God would not have given parents children with no ability to teach them.

Depends on the priest and who he is influenced by. 

Do not trust UK St Michael’s or at the very least insist on spot checks of your children’s exercise books and school desks.

If you foresee that you will not be able to teach your children --- some people's natural intellectual endowments are very modest --- and cannot find a spouse who could "stand in the gap", then you might wish to consider that you're not called to marriage in the first place.

Not all people have equal abilities in all areas.  I could teach history, religion, and civics "straight out of my head" and not even need a book, but for science and math, where my abilities are only average, I'm forced to rely on good texts where I am often "learning as I go".

Is the neo-SSPX against homeschooling?

Generally speaking, yes.

One reason, among others, is that they view their schools as vocations breeding grounds.

I recall Fr. Pfluger lamenting "Report on Tradition : fewer and fewer vocations [proportional to the number of students in our schools]..." at the 2013 Flavigny Brothers conferences. https://www.therecusant.com/fr-pfluger-jan14  (See conference #1).

It also explains why they tend to be uniform and unyielding in the execution of their policies (e.g., all students must attend and parrticipate in all extrcurrricular activities): They are trying to groom obedient vocations for a monolithic SSPX.

The SSPX prioritizes their own good over the good of the Faithful. They LIKE to procure both, but whenever there is a conflict, the good of the Organization comes first.

So the calculus is simple:

Homeschool: benefits souls, but not the SSPX at all
SSPX School: benefits souls*, AND the SSPX (by having your kids minds, a huge opportunity to mold their thinking)

Their choice is simple -- at least for them.

*Of course, that's assuming their school DOES keep your children away from the worst The World has to offer. But having read about the scandal in Post Falls, ID (a good number of children sodomizing each other) I have to say that "SSPX school" doesn't ALWAYS tick this checkbox. For more on the Post Falls scandal, there is a huge thread on CI about it:
