So, the issue with with the length of the sentence(s), not with the punctuation. Makes sense. Thanks for elaborating on that for me.

No. The issue is that the sentence is unnecessarily complex, creating a need for the extra punctuation. By rearranging the sentence structure and breaking it into two sentences, it cuts down on the punctuation and also makes it easier to read.

Would you agree that the original sentence would sound well spoken out? Reading it, perhaps, would be more difficult than it should be, but listening to it might give a different vibe - and it sounds to me that this vibe is fine.
