Is it bad if an acceptance letter has a lot of detail?

Onboarding

I’m ready to accept an offer but my acceptance letter draft is a little... dense. It touches on the following. Is it bad that it's long (but still one page) and is there such thing as too many details in an acceptance letter? I've just heard too many horror stories of people promised flexibility, certain benefits, etc. and then not receiving such perks because there wasn't confirmation in writing.

My draft touches on:
Employment terms
Start date and pre-employment logistics
Benefits and onboarding
Remote work arrangement
Technology and equipment
Travel expectations and job responsibilities
Business travel expenses and reimbursement
Pre-existing personal calendar commitments
Onboarding process and next steps
