Pages that query category posts – is it the optimal way?

Hi everyone!
I am working on a website that I wish have the same structure as: https://kernelmag.dailydot.com/. In the issues-section one is able to find all the magazines issues, and by clicking on an issue one is able to see all the articles that were published in that issues. That to me is a great way to organize a magazine, and I wish to do something similar.

In an attempt to create a similar structure I have created a unique page for every “issues” (as in the the kernel-example above), each page query the posts from a certain category (issue1, issue2, etc), and this way each page includes the posts/articles that appeard in that issue. I used these great instructions to do it.

Now, my questions is, is this a good way of designing this specific structure? Or are there better ways to do it? Oh, and by better I mean: more efficient, easier, faster, or something like that.

Thanks!
