Does Hazbin Hotel really need 6 seasons?

Apparently Viv planned 5 or 6 seasons and at least 4 are planned. I'm not saying that show is bad and doesn't deserve more seasons I'm saying does the show really need that much more time to cover stuff? Let's recap everything that has happened so far:

-They had their war with Heaven

-The leader of the exterminations got killed

-Sir Pentious went to Heaven

-Charlie reconciled with her dad

-Angel started to stand up to Val

-Vox got defeated

-We learned about Alastor's backstory and his deal (A very enigmatic character)

-The head council of Heaven changed her mind about sinners

-We are introduced to God (or as close as we're going to get to God)

-Lilith calls Charlie back (Also a very enigmatic character)

A lot of these plot points feel like they're best saved towards the climax of the series despite the fact that we're just a third of the way to the end. Apparently Vox is going to play a big role throughout the entire series. I love Vox but he really doesn't need any more focus, he had his focal season and his story just about wrapped up there. And I don't want to say that Viv and her crew are dragging out Angel's arc for suffiering porn or whatever but I was wholeheartedly expecting his arc with Valentino to resolved by Season 2, he already started to stand up to him back in Season 1 and it would nice if Season 2 ended with him going to Heaven as a nice callback to Season 1. I also don't think Val should really be a villain for whole cast like what Season 2 is setting up. He works best as a villain for Angel's personal character arc. IMO, the show could easily be wrapped up in 4 seasons like Helluva Boss maybe even 3. I don't know, maybe Viv thought Amazon wasn't going to greenlight more seasons so she tried to cover as many important moments as possible just in case.
