You're preaching to the choir.
Johnson's take on Star Wars generally seemed to be wouldn't it be great if Star Wars was this totally different thing....subversion.
It was very jarring to occur in the middle of a trilogy of films.

A massive fleet battle might not make sense unless they address how both sides got these massive fleets. Even in ROTJ the Rebels didn't have a huge fleet compared to the Imperial Navy, but it was part of the plot that the small guy kicks the bully in the junk.

The Emperor is likely involved in giving the First Order their new fleet. I agree that there needs to be an explanation for the Resistance getting their massive fleet. Maybe the world's all unite when they see what the First Order is doing?
The way that Johnson laid waste to both sides at the end of the TLJ was, I agree, a huge a problem for the plot going forward.
