Again, the start in Germany has been rocky, but still the results were there: in 153 games in the fall VAR turned over 48 decisions, and in 37 of those instances it was the right call to do so. Yeah, those 11 mistakes suck and that number will have to come down for sure, but in year 1 I'll take a 37-to-11 ratio.

That is actually quite bad and probably in range of human error. One of the things I really like about football matches is the they are completed in an hour and a half(1:45 including halftime) as opposed to the 3 to 4 hour marathons in NA sports. The continuous flow of the game is part of its intrinsic appeal and if they start introducing all these delays it will ruin the game.
Unless its transparent from a viewers perspective and nearly 100% accurate I don't like these "improvements". Right now its like a beta software process that is in early production, this should be tested in minor leagues until its ready for full production. I do agree with the goal cameras though as these do not delay the game and are 100 percent effective.
