I was under the impression the major struggle to create a room temperature single electron transistor, were not so much the tunneling junctions, but the quantum dot size and placement, to avoid electrons passing through just because of their thermal energy.

How would this superconductor help in that case? (or am I missing something? this is kind of at the limit of my quantum computing knowledge)
