Have you checked against behavior on cascaded muxes?
At least your desired timing will not look as expected.
200 ms: disable mux1
201 ms: enable mux1 - disable mux2
202 ms: enable mux2 - disable mux3
401 ms: disable mux1
402 ms: enable mux1 - disable mux2
602 ms: disable mux1
And on full second temperature sensor behind mux3 is read again ...
