Efficient way to hide an object using python?

Question

I was wondering if this is the most efficient way to hide an object using python?

bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = bpy.data.objects['Cone']; bpy.context.object.hide_viewport = True;

Is there a more efficient way to do this (since I have to turn on/off visibility many times for many objects), maybe something like:

bpy.data.objects['Cube'].visible_set(False); # visible_set doesn't exist unfortunately

Thanks.
