The result certainly is cleaner and also looks much less error
prone.

I would say so.  For manual tests that humans stare at their
progress waiting for their completion, every second may matter, but
a check that makes us wait for more than 30 seconds *and* forces us
to be extra careful when vetting its validity is worse than a check
that takes 10 more seconds with much less risk of broken output.
